What’s Trending NOW?
What’s Trending NOW is the uncomfortable reality that healthcare’s AI adoption is happening faster than its governance, often invisibly.
Join host Shahid Shah and guest Tamer Baker, Healthcare CTO at Zscaler on this episode of Trending NOW as they map the “hidden risk” landscape (data exfiltration, copilots turning loose internal content, prompt manipulation, model poisoning), then pivot to what actually works: measure AI usage, enable safe experimentation by blocking PHI/sensitive prompts, and anchor the program in Zero Trust while layering in AI-specific controls and education. The “B-roll” after the formal close goes even further: the two dig into who holds clinical and product risk as AI becomes more autonomous, why incumbents may hesitate, how regulation (HIPAA NPRM) and defense models (CMMC) might inform healthcare, and why “orchestration” becomes the next trust battleground.
