In this episode of Incumbents and Insurgents, Eric Larsen hosts Bret Taylor (Co-Founder of Sierra, Chairman of OpenAI) and Eugene A. Woods (CEO of Advocate Health) for a conversation on how AI is driving transformation in healthcare. Topics include how health systems are deploying GenAI to reduce administrative overhead and prevent patient harm; how incumbents and insurgents can partner without talking past each other; and why real change depends as much on cultural alignment as technological capability.
