Healthcare’s Oppenheimer Moment | Listener Q&A

Back by popular demand, 3x Heart of Healthcare guest Eric Larsen joins Steve to answer listener questions on healthcare's AI revolution. Drawing on the ideas behind his latest essay, Healthcare's Oppenheimer Moment, Eric argues that healthcare may be approaching a once-in-a-generation inflection point, and discusses what leaders need to understand before it's too late.
We cover:

• Why healthcare remains stuck in AI pilot projects while the technology races ahead
• The biggest obstacle to clinical AI adoption
• Why liability may be the most important (and least discussed) issue in healthcare AI
