Healthcare is moving from "point-and-click" EHRs to "intent and oversight." LLMs can finally read clinical narratives, but they need deterministic guardrails to convert physician storytelling into safe, structured actions patients can trust.

America’s Patchwork of Laws Could Be AI’s Biggest Barrier in Care
State AI rules are regulating software like a risky human, creating 50 versions of compliance. A federal framework could separate assistive from autonomous agents, letting FDA handle high-risk use while safe harbors accelerate adoption.
The Gameboard for AI in Healthcare
Healthcare AI is stuck in "middle to middle"—helping clinicians draft and summarize, but not prescribing. Level-5 autonomy requires moving from probabilistic language to deterministic actions with verifiable plans and safety gates.
GPT-5 vs Grok4, No Health AI Champion Yet
GPT-5 is more cautious than Grok4 with ambiguous inputs, but both fail anatomy vetoes and physics checks. Progress, not readiness. Until models enforce unit verification and constraint gates, they're promising tools, not dependable partners.
Level‑5 Healthcare: Why Prescribing Will Decide When AI Becomes a Real Doctor
Diagnostic AI aces OSCEs but stops before writing scripts. Autonomous prescribing for titrations, refills, and simple infections could unlock Level-5 care. FDA already approves closed-loop insulin—lisinopril adjustments should follow the same path.
Don’t Believe the Hype — Medical Superintelligence Isn’t Here Yet
Grok4 claims PhD-level performance but fails basic clinical safety checks—anatomy vetoes, unit verification, physics sanity. Benchmarks reward fluent certainty over real judgment. We need tests that measure trend detection, causal vetoes, and calibrated caution.
What I’ve Learned About LLMs in Healthcare (so far)
Microsoft's AI can diagnose NEJM cases at 85% accuracy, but real hospital charts are too messy for today's LLMs. The bottleneck isn't reasoning—it's context engineering that can parse fragmented, stale EHR data into something models can actually use.
