Show notes

HHS has shifted from observing clinical AI to writing the rules that will govern it—retroactively applied to tools already running in your health system. Prof. Elizabeth Harris, clinical research and validation expert, exposes the dangerous gap between model performance metrics and actual clinical outcomes, and tells hospital leaders exactly what Monday morning should look like.


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.
