## Resource

AI is transforming healthcare at an unprecedented pace—but the biggest risks aren’t clinical, they’re legal, operational, and systemic. From data center infrastructure and environmental impact to reimbursement shifts and agentic AI workflows, the stakes are rising fast. New models from major tech players are poised to influence care delivery—and even get reimbursed based on outcomes—raising critical questions about ownership, liability, and control. Where does responsibility fall when AI drives decisions? How should hospitals evaluate vendors, data sources, and infrastructure risks? And what happens when automation outpaces regulation?
