AI Healthcare Safety
Last edited: August 8, 2025Iteration of Healthcare System
digital structure => configuration => activities or processes => outcomes => more structures
- EHR
- decision support systems
Technology in general is becoming safer over time => ideally, some form of high level safety is achieved.
important: define a shared vocabulary between technologists and clinicians
Technology-Induced Errors
Though EHS can serve to reduce medical errors, it can work in increase errors as well.
- bias
- ignorance of environmental factors
- Error reporting + incident reporting
Resolution
- get rid of each problem
- help establish well-configured systems which could promote safety
- patient simulation with clinician + technology to see how it fits into process of care
- what could that look like from a home health-care perspective
AI Intepretability
Last edited: August 8, 2025The BIG NEW THING in AI research. Because normal results for seq2sseq is already doing very well. Slightly more realistic models of language acquisition.
“Linguistics is not just about human languages”: humans, animals, and machines.
BIG AGI What: question is the difference between a dumb human and GPT?
Speech is Based for Interoperability
- continuous data (as opposed to text)
- much less complex with vision: vision is more complex
- speech is a nice controllable system (????)

- workload measurement
- clinical wellness, etc.
- perioperative outcomes
Big problem: integration is impossible; there’s lots of models. “Researched models are rarely implemented; implemented models are rarely researched”. Epic doesn’t stand behind its models.
Implementation of AI based mechanisms though “saves time” on paper, results in more patient throughput and patient burn. At this point: harder question—not whether you can make a model, but how do you govren their use and actually put them into implementation.
AI Safety Index
Last edited: August 8, 2025Safety as a property is dependent on the being used. Meaning: “AI safety focuses on technical solutions to ensure that AI systems operate safely and reliably.”
- preventing accidents, misuse, and harmful consiquences
- machine ethics and AI alignment
- monitoring systems for risks
- developing norms and policies that promote safety
