MPR News interviewed Consortium co-chair Francis X. Shen, JD, PhD, about how healthcare organizations’ integration of artificial intelligence (AI) — and allegations about these practices — expose tensions facing hospitals. Last month, a former Mayo Clinic executive filed a federal whistleblower lawsuit, accusing the healthcare provider of cutting corners by skirting review boards and masking error rates to keep its hold as an industry leader in AI. Prof. Shen, who has worked at the intersection of health care and AI for a decade, said experts in the field have been raising similar concerns for years.
