The AI Paradigm: A Doctor’s Perspective (The Second Opinion)

Dr. Bill Frist, a former U.S. Senate Majority Leader and transplant surgeon, reflects on the transformational impact of generative AI (GenAI) in healthcare.

He also cautions about adoption barriers—trust, infrastructure, and change management—but believes GenAI could usher in the most humane, efficient era of medicine yet.
