AI in Healthcare: What’s Real and What Isn’t

In this talk, Brian Rosenberg walks through what AI is actually doing inside healthcare organizations today.

The focus is not on future promises. It is on what is working now, what is breaking, and what leaders are misunderstanding. The discussion looks closely at how AI is affecting operations, clinical workflows, and the workforce, and where the real risks tend to show up.

Brian also addresses why data quality matters more than tools, how organizations should be preparing for the next phase, and what leadership looks like when change moves faster than policy or culture.

This is a straightforward conversation about the current state of AI in healthcare. No pitches. No theatrics. Just a clear look at reality.
