## Resource

Summary “With great power comes great responsibility. The innovation in AI is incredible, but our assurance models must catch up if we’re to keep patients safe” In this thought provoking Let’s Talk Risk! conversation , host Dr. Naveen Agarwal welcomes James Pink , a global leader in medical device safety, risk, and regulatory strategy. James shares his deeply personal journey, from clinical engineering and auditing, to his life-altering health experience that reinforced his passion for patient safety. Together they unpack how artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare innovation, the gaps in current assurance models, and the urgent need for literacy, accountability, and human-in-the-loop oversight. The discussion highlights contrasts between EU and U.S. regulatory approaches, the concept of AI assurance, and why quality professionals must evolve from compliance guardians to informed custodians of safety in an AI-enabled world.
