Welcome, AI Entrepreneurs!

AI is becoming faster, more capable, and more embedded in healthcare every day.

That does not mean it should decide everything.

Some decisions in medicine carry uncertainty, values, and consequences that no model can fully capture.

In today’s issue, I focus on where AI can help and where human judgment must remain in control. The goal is not to slow innovation, but to deploy it responsibly.

In today’s AIpreneurs Insights: 

  • Spotlight of the Week: What AI Should Not Decide in Healthcare

What AI Should Not Decide in Healthcare

This week’s infographic highlights the areas where human judgment remains essential in medicine.

Clinical judgment, treatment decisions, and clinical nuance require experience, context, and ethical reasoning that AI cannot replicate.

AI excels at analyzing data, identifying patterns, and organizing information. But when decisions involve uncertainty, quality of life tradeoffs, or irreversible outcomes, clinicians must remain accountable.

This visual explains where AI supports care and where it should stop. The future of healthcare depends on keeping humans firmly in the loop.

Big News: Our Program Is Live!!!

AI is already shaping clinical workflows, hospital operations, and patient-facing tools.

The real advantage is not learning how to use AI tools.
It is knowing when to trust them, when to question them, and when to stop them.

In Become the Human in the Loop in Healthcare AI, I teach clinicians, leaders, and builders how to evaluate AI safely, deploy it responsibly, and stay accountable in high-stakes environments.

If you work in healthcare and want to lead AI adoption instead of reacting to it, this course is built for you.

1. The Most Expensive AI Lawsuit Yet: Musk vs. OpenAI

Elon Musk is seeking between $79 billion and $134 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, arguing the company betrayed its nonprofit mission. The staggering demand comes despite Musk’s already massive personal fortune and signals that the lawsuit is as much about influence and control as it is about compensation.

The Details:

  • Musk’s damages claim is based on a financial expert’s analysis tying his $38 million early contribution to OpenAI’s current valuation.

  • The calculation includes Musk’s technical and business involvement, assigning tens of billions in alleged “wrongful gains” to OpenAI and Microsoft.

  • Microsoft is implicated due to its large ownership stake, with damages estimates reaching over $25 billion.

  • OpenAI characterizes the lawsuit as harassment and has warned investors of further dramatic claims ahead of trial.

Why it Matters: 

This case isn’t just a dispute between a founder and a startup — it’s a referendum on the future of AI governance. At stake are questions about nonprofit promises, control over frontier AI, and how early ideals collide with massive commercial success. The outcome could reshape how AI companies structure themselves, raise capital, and define accountability when mission-driven organizations become trillion-dollar forces.

2. US and Europe Agree on Rules for Using AI in Drug Development

U.S. and European regulators have jointly released principles for the responsible use of AI in drug development. The guidance aims to accelerate innovation while maintaining patient safety across research, trials, manufacturing, and post-market surveillance.

The Details:

  • The FDA and European Medicines Agency outlined best practices for using AI throughout the entire drug lifecycle.

  • Regulators want AI to shorten development timelines and reduce animal testing while preserving scientific rigor.

  • The initiative builds on earlier FDA and EMA AI frameworks and follows a 2024 bilateral cooperation meeting.

  • Pharmaceutical companies are rapidly investing in AI, with major deals and joint research labs already underway.

Why it Matters: 

AI is becoming foundational to how new medicines are discovered and developed, but regulation has lagged behind innovation. This joint framework signals that regulators want AI adoption — not restriction — as long as safety, transparency, and accountability are built in. By aligning early, the U.S. and EU are shaping global standards that could determine how fast new therapies reach patients and how much trust clinicians and regulators place in AI-driven drug development.

3. After Backlash, OpenAI Adds Age Prediction to ChatGPT

OpenAI has introduced an age-prediction system in ChatGPT to better identify minors and automatically apply stricter content safeguards. The move comes amid growing criticism and concern over the chatbot’s impact on young users, including mental-health risks and exposure to inappropriate content.overload.

The Details:

  • ChatGPT now uses behavioral and account-level signals, such as stated age, account history, and usage patterns, to estimate whether a user is under 18.

  • When a user is flagged as a minor, stricter filters are automatically applied to limit discussions of sexual, violent, or other sensitive topics.

  • OpenAI says this feature builds on existing protections and addresses past failures, including a bug that allowed explicit content for minors.

  • Users incorrectly flagged as underage can verify adulthood by submitting a selfie through OpenAI’s identity verification partner.

Why it Matters:

As AI tools become deeply embedded in daily life, protecting minors is turning into a legal and ethical flashpoint. Age prediction signals a shift from trust-based safeguards to proactive enforcement, but it also raises concerns about surveillance, misclassification, and data privacy. This move may set a precedent for how AI platforms balance child safety with user autonomy — and could shape upcoming regulations around AI access for minors.

Hospitals don’t need:
- More exceptions
- More side processes
- More “temporary fixes”

That’s how burnout compounds.

Good AI disappears into the workflow.
Bad AI announces itself constantly.

demo-grade AI and clinical-grade AI?

Here’s an un-boring way to invest that billionaires have quietly leveraged for decades

If you have enough money that you think about buckets for your capital…

Ever invest in something you know will have low returns—just for the sake of diversifying?

CDs… Bonds… REITs… :(

Sure, these “boring” investments have some merits. But you probably overlooked one historically exclusive asset class:

It’s been famously leveraged by billionaires like Bezos and Gates, but just never been widely accessible until now.

It outpaced the S&P 500 (!) overall WITH low correlation to stocks, 1995 to 2025.*

It’s not private equity or real estate. Surprisingly, it’s postwar and contemporary art.

And since 2019, over 70,000 people have started investing in SHARES of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso through a platform called Masterworks.

  • 23 exits to date

  • $1,245,000,000+ invested

  • Annualized net returns like 17.6%, 17.8%, and 21.5%

My subscribers can SKIP their waitlist and invest in blue-chip art.

Investing involves risk. Past performance not indicative of future returns. Reg A disclosures at masterworks.com/cd
