Chicago's MATTER and Dr. S. Yin Ho to Explore the Future of Responsible AI in Healthcare on February 12th

CHICAGO - EntSun -- Rigani Press, publisher of Rushing Headlong: Health IT's Legacy and the Road to Responsible AI announced today that MATTER's Steven Collens will be hosting a fireside discussion this afternoon, February 12th at 3:30 pm Central Time with book author Dr. S. Yin Ho about the role of AI in healthcare given the difficulty legacy of healthcare IT in the U.S.  The discussion is entitled: "A Conversation with Dr. S. Yin Ho: AI and Improving Data in Healthcare."   The event will take place in downtown Chicago at 222 W. Merchandise Mart Plaza.  It will also be live-streamed.

"Over the past few weeks, I've been trying to make sense of a pattern I keep seeing with healthcare AI. Tools that technically work. Pilots that look promising. Systems that get deployed — and then slowly worked around. Some of this is about underestimating the change management required to implement new solutions. But something I didn't fully appreciate until digging into Dr. Ho's work on healthcare IT is that we're asking AI to operate inside systems that were never designed for learning, judgment, or trust."  notes Collens.
