We’re being flooded with headlines about what AI will and won’t do to healthcare: threatening jobs, creating new ways to manipulate reimbursement, and introducing new risks into an industry that already has plenty of them.

So, what’s AI ACTUALLY doing to healthcare right now, and where is it leading?

David Williams, President, Health Business Group and John Driscoll, Chairman, UConn Health debate AI's real impact across clinical care, including whether AI-driven upcoding is leveling the playing field between hospitals and insurers, and whether physicians are at risk of losing the diagnostic skills they no longer practice.
