Who should own the AI that doctors built

A tech founder used one pediatrician's public advice to train her own AI. Sonal Patel decided doctors should own the tools built on their knowledge instead. Patel is a pediatrician and neonatologist who built and controls her own AI for the fourth trimester. This episode is based on her article "Physicians must shape AI in medicine, not watch it," published on KevinMD. You will hear why she believes the doctor who uses AI, not AI itself, is the real threat to the one who ignores it. She explains how insurers already use AI to deny claims, and how she keeps patients from being sold products they do not need. You will learn why a paid subscription model matters before you experiment, why physician critical thinking cannot be automated away, and why the human connection at the center of medicine is the one thing a machine can never replace. Press play to hear why the doctor who ignores AI is more at risk than the one who uses it, and where to start.
