Show Notes
This week on Pulse: Hot Topics, Louise and George explore the rapidly shifting boundaries of science, AI and human health.
They unpack the extraordinary research using AI to design entirely new, functioning viruses, and the biosecurity questions that follow. Then, turning the discussion to South Australia’s newly announced Royal Commission into AI and whether governance can possibly keep pace with technological change.
Then they look at the emerging era of the “continuous human”: Germany’s €40 million push to crack continuous hormone monitoring, and Google’s enormous SensorFM foundation model, trained on more than a trillion minutes of wearable data, which could point towards a future of personalised, continuous health intelligence.
Plus, George recommends Paper Guide for scientific research, and we highlight two international opportunities for clinicians to contribute to research on AI in healthcare.
Research Opportunities: Clinicians – be part of the research into clinician use of AI, open globally Link AI policy vs frontline reality survey (deadline 2 September) Link

This week on Pulse: Hot Topics, Louise and George ask
Is artificial intelligence an existential threat to humanity? Or is the greater danger what humans choose to do with it?
This week on Pulse: Hot Topics, Louise and George ask who gets to deliver healthcare, as AI agents, a dating app, Apple and online platforms all push into territory that once belonged to clinicians and health services.
This week on Pulse: Hot Topics, Louise and George break down: OpenAI's Agent Breaches a Medicare Portal – An OpenAI agent that "didn't accept no for an answer" pulled non-public files from a legacy Medicare statistics portal, turning a benign research task into a wake-up call for healthcare's ageing legacy systems. AI Scribes Meet the Law – A Washington State court ruled a patient had no right to the ambient AI recording of her own consult, while an Australian legal analysis warns scribes may concentrate liability on the doctor who signs the note. The Medicare Pipeline Nobody Designed – An Auditor-General's report shows software increasingly marketed to optimise Medicare billing with AI, while the Health Department switched off its own AI fraud-detection model because staff couldn't keep up with what it flagged. The US Prepares to Pay AI Doctors – A New York Times investigation finds US health officials fast-tracking AI that diagnoses, prescribes and treats, including reported discussions about paying AI doctors 60 to 80 per cent of what human doctors earn.
Healthcare faces a global workforce crisis - but what if we’re asking the wrong question about AI?
