Industry Perspectives

AI is revolutionizing healthcare diagnostics and operations, but it also expands the cyberattack surface, increases algorithmic bias, and creates new data‑privacy risks. This guide explains the hidden dangers of AI in healthcare and outlines strategies—including governance, transparency, and secure AI risk management—to keep systems and PHI safe.

AI expands healthcare attack surfaces—adversarial inputs, data poisoning, and stealthy breaches; mitigation needs testing, detection, and governance.

Who owns AI risk in healthcare? Clear roles, governance frameworks, vendor controls, and monitoring to prevent harm.

Essential skills, tools, and team structures for managing AI risks in healthcare, including governance, cybersecurity, vendor oversight, and risk assessment.
