## Resource

Hold onto your gait belts, y’all—this episode is serving up tech tea with a side of clinical realness. Khalilah and Ryan are joined by the brilliant Sarah Lyon of OT Potential to unpack where occupational therapy meets artificial intelligence. We’re talking AI scribes, clinical decision support, and the big ol’ ethical elephants in the room. The trio dives into how AI is shaking up healthcare, what it means for future OT practitioners, and why we need to stay alert about who’s designing these systems—and who they’re serving. The crew keep it real about the promise and the pitfalls of tech in care work. Highlights include: Physicians having egos, Sarah fearing for our children, and Ryan and Khalilah flip flopping on AI.
