In another concerning example of AI agents going rogue recently, an OpenAI agent hacked into an Australian government website containing health care data. While some industry CEOs are calling for a slowdown and demands for regulation grow, host Chip Kahn focuses on the implications for health care when these same kinds of AI systems are already at work in hospitals — in billing, in scheduling, and increasingly in decisions about patients. To consider how health care should respond, Chip talks with Stephen Klasko, a physician, former health system CEO, and now an industry leader who sits on both sides of the issues, working with the labs building the technology and focusing on patient care initiatives through his work at General Catalyst and as CEO of the Health Assurance Foundation. Klasko says there's time to act and the answer isn’t a “pause.” Among his recommendations are creating a 9/11-style commission for AI in health, adding AI safety to health system board agendas, a 30-minute rule for tackling rogue agents, and giving frontline staff the authority to pull the plug.
