Guest speaker: DJ Patil, former US Chief Data Scientist and Health Tech Entrepreneur
This episode of the Stanford Healthcare AI podcast explores how AI is transforming healthcare security, policy, and patient empowerment. The guest, DJ Patil, former U.S. Chief Data Scientist and health tech entrepreneur, warns that hospitals are “sitting targets” for cyberattacks from nation-states using even “dumb” AI models. They discuss gaps in U.S. cybersecurity ownership, the need to treat healthcare as critical infrastructure, and the risks of ransomware-style “terrorism.” Balancing this, they highlight the explosive growth of tools like Open Evidence and GPT for clinicians, rising patient engagement, and the moral question of whether powerful AI should be gated or widely accessible.
