Do No Harm: How AI Helps to Prevent Patient Harm

March 16, 2026

Medical errors related to misdiagnoses contribute to an estimated $870 billion in waste in the U.S. each year. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be the most powerful tool to change that.

In this episode, Laura Adams, Senior Advisor at the National Academy of Medicine, shares how her experience with a near-fatal medication error changed the trajectory of her career and now her focus on AI-driven patient safety initiatives. Listen in as the author of the National Academy of Medicine’s Code of Conduct for AI shares how AI improves real-time detection and prevention and how employers can empower patients with greater access to AI tools to reduce the ripple effects of medical harm.
