🦾How You Can Leverage:
How can the healthcare industry walk the tightrope of AI innovation and patient privacy and security?
And more importantly, maybe, how does it impact us all?
The answers aren’t easy.
But Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld showed us the best route forward.
Jesse Ehrenfeld, MD, MPH, is the president of the American Medical Association, the body of 270,000+ members that promotes the betterment of public health.
He joined our show today to not just answer the sometimes controversial questions around AI and healthcare, but also laid the groundwork forward on how to maximize outcomes in the new AI-everywhere world.
When we think AI and healthcare, we sometimes jump to either the thought of robot doctors or just concerns about our privacy.
But it’s not like that.
At all.
Instead, the intersection of AI and healthcare is both challenging the day-to-day, yet holds great promise for the future.
Let’s dive in to see how AI can maximize outcomes.
1 – Augmented Intelligence 🧠️
No, we aren’t going to see robots replacing doctors. (Although, Dr. Ehrenfeld did mention some advancements in AI-powered nurses that don’t diagnose.)
Although medical practices and organizations can use AI in so many ways, Dr. Ehrenfeld reiterated that physicians won’t lose their jobs to AI. Instead, AI can be a force multiplier for healthcare institutions that use it correctly.
Try this:
Want to know more about the AMA’s stance on AI, and how they’re planning to leverage it? Read the AMA’s updated Principles for AI Development, which was just updated and released a few months ago.
Dr. Ehrenfeld emphasized the AMA’s strong stance on AI ethics and guidelines on data privacy to keep the patient-provider relationship strong.
(Oh, and this is something we talked about previously in an episode with Dr. Harvey Castro.)
2 – More focused time ⏳️
Think — you’re in a Zoom meeting and feverishly taking notes.
Are you actively listening? Or just trying to keep up?
Dr. Ehrenfeld mentioned a huge time-saver for medical professionals everywhere: ambient dictation combined with large language models.
Instead of typing on a computer, a medical provider can actively listen to a patient while ambient dictation records and transcribes the convo.
And instead of typing up notes after, LLM can automatically make post-visit notes a GenAI breeze.
Try this:
A recent study from the AMA showed that nearly 40% of physicians were already using AI in their practices.
You can read more about that study here, and also find out a bit more about how ambient dictation and LLMs are a one-two punch that’s saving providers countless hours.
3 – Responsible AI = maximized outcomes 👏
Healthcare workers feel overwhelmed. Patients sometimes have to wait months to see a doctor.
Can AI actually help here?
Absolutely.
Dr. Ehrenfeld cut it straight — leveraging generative AI in a responsible way (and following AMA’s AI Principals) helps healthcare providers win their time back.
From pairing dictation and LLMs to GenAI helping with record keeping and back-end operations, the humans in healthcare can start to focus a bit more on the humans seeking their care.
And a little less on all the repetitive tasks associated with it.

If you want to see what the future of healthcare and AI looks like, a big piece of it will likely start there.
