Healthcare AI in 2026: From Novelty to Normalcy
2026 marks the transition of AI in healthcare from promising pilots to operational reality – transforming how doctors diagnose and treat, nurses assess patients and manage workflows, and patients receive care. In this talk, Dr. Robert Wachter, author of the new book, "A Giant Leap: How AI is Transforming Healthcare and What That Means for Our Future," offers a clear-eyed view of this inflection point: why the technology has matured enough to deliver on its promise, what obstacles remain for healthcare and tech leaders to navigate, and what it means as we collectively embark on what may be the greatest experiment in the history of medicine.
