UPMC just deployed agentic AI across 18 hospitals — the same week investors poured $26M into fixing the data infrastructure those agents depend on. Coincidence or confession? HealthTech Architect Ethan Brooks breaks down what actually breaks when autonomous clinical AI scales faster than its data foundation.
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.

Dr. Wellis and the guest on this episode are AI-generated personas. The topics are drawn from real developments in healthcare.
