Raising the Floor: AI, Safety and the View from the Frontline

What does it actually look like when AI meets the messiness of real clinical care? Drawing on direct experience at the frontline of both medicine and digital health, Dr Richard Daniels cuts through the hype to explore how artificial intelligence can be a genuine force for improving patient safety — not just in the consulting room, but across the operational infrastructure that keeps healthcare systems running. Through concrete examples and hard-won lessons, this talk will challenge you to think differently about where AI can raise the floor for every patient, and what a responsible, safety-first path forward looks like in practice.
