🎙️ In this episode, Marco Smit shares how organizations in healthcare, pharma, and other regulated industries are approaching AI adoption, and why treating AI as an IT problem is one of the biggest mistakes being made today.
We unpack what’s driving bottlenecks in AI implementation, including real-world examples where evaluating and deploying a new AI use case can take up to 8 months, and how that delay leads to shadow AI and increased risk.
Marco also explains how DomeLabs AI’s ClearPath platform helps organizations move from slow, fragmented approval cycles to more structured, scalable AI governance, while balancing speed, compliance, and risk.
This conversation explores what it actually takes to turn AI potential into real-world impact in regulated environments.
