More than a thousand AI medical devices have FDA clearance, yet fewer than two percent of radiologists actually use them.
In this episode, Steve sits down with Dr. Brian Anderson—CEO and co‑founder of the Coalition for Health AI—to unpack why trust, transparency, and regulation could make or break the next wave of AI‑powered medicine.
We cover:
🤖 Why only 2% of radiologists use AI tools despite 1,000+ FDA‑cleared devices
🔍 What transparency really means and how model cards act like AI “nutrition labels”
🏛️ How federal vs. state regulators could speed up—or stall—AI‑driven care
💊 The imminent arrival of autonomous AI doctors that prescribe meds—and who’s liable when things go wrong
🚑 Brian’s bullish vs. bearish scenarios for health AI over the next three years
