The Quiet Power Behind Responsible AI

What does it really take to implement AI in healthcare—at scale, and responsibly? Dr. Daniel Yang, Vice President of AI and Emerging Technologies at Kaiser Permanente, joins us to share his firsthand experience leading the nation’s largest clinical deployment of generative AI tools like ambient scribes.

In this episode, Dr. Yang explains how Kaiser’s phased rollout combined clinician feedback, quality assurance, and real-time audits to build confidence and reduce burnout. He reflects on the cultural evolution among physicians—from fear of replacement to enthusiasm for tools that make them “better doctors and better moms.” We explore trust milestones, physician workflows, diagnostic decision support, and the impact of AI on clinical education.

This is a rare look into how a complex health system navigates the real-world challenges of trustworthy AI. Listen in for an insightful conversation with Dr. Yang.
