218: Nabla’s AI Executive Summit Debrief: Yann LeCun’s World Models, Where Health Systems are Going with AI after Ambient, and Things CMIOs will Never Say on Stage
The Digital PatientShow Notes
In this special duo episode, Alan Sardana sits down with SeamlessMD Co-founder and CEO Joshua Liu, MD, to unpack the biggest ideas from the Nabla Accelerate AI Executive Summit. Josh shares what he heard behind closed doors from CMIOs, CIOs, and digital health leaders—from why AI scribes unlocked AI adoption, to what comes next in healthcare automation, trust, and ROI. They explore where today’s AI may fall short, drawing inspiration from Yann LeCun's keynote ideas around World Models, how transparency matters more than “AI-first” branding, and why humility and execution—not hype—ultimately determine which AI solutions succeed in healthcare.
