Big News: Our New Program Is Live!!!
Healthcare is changing faster than ever. From AI tools that process claims in seconds, to predictive models that identify high-risk patients before complications happen, the message is clear: AI is already reshaping care delivery.
But here’s the challenge:
Many AI tools are overhyped without evidence.
Implementation often fails because leaders don’t understand the unique complexities of healthcare.
Ethical and trust concerns still remain at the center.
That’s exactly why I created Become the Human in the Loop in Healthcare AI — a program designed for health leaders, executives, and non-technical professionals who want to lead responsibly in this new era.

1. AI Can Now Renew Prescriptions in Utah, and Doctors Are Sounding the Alarm
Utah has launched a first-of-its-kind program allowing an AI system to renew certain prescriptions for patients with chronic conditions. While advocates say it could reduce wait times and improve medication adherence, critics warn that removing direct physician oversight introduces serious patient safety risks.
The Details:
The AI system, developed by Doctronic, can renew up to 191 non-controlled medications for patients who were previously prescribed those drugs by a physician.
Patients complete identity verification and a virtual medical interview, after which the AI either renews the prescription or refers the case to a human doctor.
Eligible medications include blood pressure drugs, cardiometabolic treatments, birth control, and SSRIs, but exclude controlled substances and ADHD medications.
The program is being piloted under regulatory oversight through Utah’s Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy.
Why it Matters:
Prescription refills are one of healthcare’s biggest bottlenecks, and AI could meaningfully reduce delays that harm patients. But prescribing decisions sit at the core of medical responsibility, where nuance, context, and clinical judgment matter. Utah’s experiment may shape national policy on whether AI can safely take on clinical authority — or whether it should remain a tightly supervised assistant rather than a decision-maker.

2. Why “College Dropout” Is Suddenly the Hottest Startup Credential
Despite evidence that most successful founders hold college degrees, the “college dropout” label is once again being celebrated in the startup world. Fueled by AI-driven urgency and fear of missing out, more young founders are leaving school early — sometimes even in their final semester — believing it improves their chances with investors.
The Details:
Dropout status has become a pitch credential at Y Combinator Demo Days, signaling conviction and urgency rather than lack of discipline.
Many top AI founders still completed elite degrees, but a growing subset fears graduation means missing the critical AI window.
Some students now believe having a diploma could hurt fundraising prospects, even though many VCs dispute this assumption.
Investors remain divided, with some valuing networks and brand over diplomas, while others prioritize experience and wisdom over youth.
Why it Matters:
The glorification of dropouts reflects how fast the AI market is moving — and how intense the pressure to act feels right now. But romanticizing the dropout path risks creating false incentives that push founders into irreversible decisions. In reality, most VCs care less about credentials than clarity of thinking, execution ability, and resilience. The real advantage isn’t dropping out — it’s knowing when to build and what you’re building with enough maturity to sustain it.

3. VCs Warn: AI’s Real Impact on Labor Starts in 2026
Enterprise investors are increasingly convinced that AI will begin meaningfully reshaping the labor market in 2026. As companies shift budgets toward AI systems and agents, concerns are growing that automation will move beyond productivity gains and into real workforce displacement.
The Details:
Research already shows AI could automate nearly 12% of jobs today, and companies are already cutting entry-level roles and citing AI in layoffs.
Multiple enterprise VCs expect 2026 budgets to reallocate spending from human labor to AI tools and agentic systems.
Investors predict AI will move from augmenting workers to directly automating entire workflows in certain roles.
Some VCs warn AI may also become a convenient explanation for layoffs driven by unrelated business decisions.
Why it Matters:
The debate over AI and jobs is shifting from theory to timeline. If investors are right, 2026 could mark the point where automation starts reducing headcount, not just boosting efficiency. That raises urgent questions for workers, companies, and policymakers about reskilling, transparency, and accountability. Whether AI becomes a force for productivity or displacement may depend less on the technology itself — and more on how leaders choose to deploy it.

An algorithm that never feels regret
Shouldn’t make irreversible decisions.
I’ve watched how much weight
A single medical decision can carry.
Not just for a patient.
For families.
For clinicians.
For everyone who has to live with the outcome.
AI doesn’t feel that weight.
It doesn’t sit with uncertainty.
It doesn’t replay the “what ifs.”
That doesn’t make AI dangerous.
But it does define its limits.
AI is exceptional at spotting patterns.
At warning earlier.
At reducing noise.
But irreversible decisions??
They require something more than confidence.
They require accountability.
And the ability to carry consequence.
That’s why AI should inform care, not finalize it.
Assist judgment, not replace it.
The future of healthcare isn’t AI vs humans.
It’s humans who understand AI vs humans who don’t.
Where do you think the final line should be drawn?
