I don't think there's even policies or general practices that are accepted within the use of AI outside of healthcare. And it's definitely going to be here. It's just how are we going to be utilizing it and how it's going to affect us is the big question. I designed software for years for doctors, so every one of us practices half in the computer and half in the HR. We're all these weird heuristics and beliefs,. We don't have a lot of clarity to it. Most people, especially non-clinicians, don't even realize how little clinicians know about what it is that we do.We've all greased the wheels in our own facilities
