318: How Big Tech is shaping healthcare AI

How are OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google shaping healthcare experiences both within and outside the walls of the traditional delivery and payment system? There are hundreds of AI applications for healthcare. But when we look under the hood, they all come back to a small handful of foundational models. These models are not only powering your patients’ healthcare experience with direct-to-consumer tools, like chatbots, they’re powering the AI tools you use to interface with your patients or members, and to run your business. That means these companies may have considerable influence over your organization—whether or not they show up explicitly on your vendor registry. In this episode, host Abby Burns and Advisory Board expert Ty Aderhold explore what this influence looks like in practice, the risks that accompany our collective dependence on a few organizations, and how leaders should think about their own roles in shaping these early innings of AI in healthcare.
