Healthcare's AI governance model is broken. Here's what needs to change to scale from pilots to production.
Why it matters
As healthcare organizations attempt to operationalize AI at scale, centralized governance committees are becoming bottlenecks. The piece examines structural failures in oversight models and proposes architectural shifts needed to enable hundreds of production AI systems rather than dozens of pilots—a critical infrastructure question for leaders managing enterprise AI risk and compliance.
