🎙️ In this episode, we explore why bad AI is a real risk in healthcare, and why data quality, governance, and infrastructure matter just as much as the models themselves.
We unpack how healthcare is fundamentally an information business, why AI trained on biased or low-quality data can worsen outcomes, and why more data does not automatically mean better AI.
The discussion also covers the growing demand for AI-ready data centers, the shift toward compute-intensive infrastructure, and how blockchain can help preserve data integrity, provenance, and trust as healthcare data moves across systems.
