AI is at the brink of transforming global health, where the stakes couldn’t be higher. The potential to revolutionize patient care and improve lives is unparalleled, but so are the risks. It’s crucial that we guide this technology to ensure it benefits people rather than causing harm.    That’s why we’ve established the AI Collaborative with Caltech’s Merkin Institute and the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Department of Surgery. Our goal is to lead the way in integrating AI ethically, setting a standard not just for our work, but for the entire industry.    This is just the beginning. The AI Collaborative will drive the responsible adoption of AI across design, research, and education, paving the way for a future where technology truly enhances human well-being. We appreciate POLITICO and STAT for highlighting the launch of our AI Ethics Council, the first step in this crucial effort.    [Link with more info on our AI Collaborative in the comments]

I am honored to be recognized as a nominee for the 2024 Los Angeles Business Journal CFO Awards. Also, thank you to the judges for the selection as a finalist in the 2024 Los Angeles Times CFO Leadership Awards: https://lnkd.in/gegSPPH3 These could not be possible without the tremendous efforts of our teams at both Akido Labs and Rhode Island Primary Care Physicians Corporation who are providing the best possible care to our patients. We are at the forefront of an era where #AI breakthroughs offer unprecedented opportunities to reimagine #healthcare.   For the first time in history, technology exists to create a healthcare system that anticipates your needs and responds with precision, and is always accessible to all, regardless of financial means or geography. I look forward to connecting with everyone in person at the event. #CFO #leadership #AI #technology #healthcare

“Providing stable housing can alleviate more health conditions than taking [a person experiencing homelessness] to the ICU and the hospital and providing street medicine…Knowing that fact, we wanted to be part of the solution.” -- well said Karthik! We are not afraid of stepping into uncharted territory, especially together with amazing partners. Thank you CalMatters for highlighting the potential of “housing as medicine” programs.

Transforming care on a system-level is a massive undertaking, but the lives served is what truly makes the work worth it.
