## Resource

Treating healthcare AI like a standard software rollout creates a dangerous false sense of security for health system executives. Slapping human oversight onto agentic AI does not eliminate operational risk, it simply shifts massive legal and operational liability onto overburdened clinicians. In this interview from eHealth26, Julia Zarb, founder of Blue x Blue, breaks down why traditional IT playbooks fail when applied to agentic AI. She explains how small, logical micro fissures in AI outputs bypass manual checks and multiply when autonomous agents interact across an organization. Viewers will gain a practical framework for identifying governance blindspots and protecting clinical teams from hidden operational traps. 🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.
