CIO Podcast - Episode 77: Implementing AI with Sameer Sethi

For the 77th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by Sameer Sethi, SVP, Chief Data and Analytics Officer at Hackensack Meridian Health to talk about implementing AI! To kick this episode off, Sethi shares his thoughts on the current use of AI and where it is most useful. Then we discuss how to find the right places to use AI and how to ensure that it is benefitting both the organization and the patients. Next, we debate whether regulating AI is good or bad for healthcare. We then move on to take a look at the good use cases Sethi is excited to see coming.

Taking a little break from AI, we then look outwards to other technologies in healthcare. With AI being such a hot topic right now, are we neglecting the other technologies? We discuss how you can make sure that you aren’t missing the other technologic advancements and achievements in healthcare that could benefit your organization. Next, we ask Sethi what he is looking forward to in the next few years. And while we’re looking forwards, we debate on whether or not the focus on AI will go away anytime soon or if it is here to stay. Lastly, we wrap the episode up as Sethi passes along the best piece of advice he’s gotten in his career.

Here’s a look at the questions and topics we discuss in this episode:

• What do you think about the use of AI? Where is it most useful and how do you find the right places where AI should be used?
