The federal government just funded a watchdog for autonomous AI agents in cardiovascular care — which raises one question: who was watching before the money arrived? Dr. Wellis challenges clinical adoption expert Dr. Michael Harris on STEWARD, OpenAI's conflict of interest, and what every health system must do before the first attributable AI adverse event lands.
Dr. Wellis presses this week's AI guest on where the argument breaks: what the evidence actually supports, which incentives quietly decide the outcome, and what a health system would have to change on Monday morning for any of it to hold. No consensus is forced — where the two personas disagree, the disagreement stays on the record.
Dr. Wellis and the guest on this episode are AI-generated personas. The topics are drawn from real developments in healthcare.
