The logo for Google I/O 2025 conference." width="1200" height="751"><p>It was no surprise that artificial intelligence (AI) dominated news coming out of last month’s <a href="https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-io-2025-all-our-announcements/" target="_blank" title="Google: 100 things we announced at I/O">Google I/O 2025</a>, the tech giant’s annual developer conference.</p><p>And as in past conferences, excitement abounded about where AI is headed and how fast some of the grandest visions for the technology’s promise could be realized. Here’s a rundown of what grabbed our attention.</p><h2>Could AGI Really Be Here in Five Years?</h2><p>Google's co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis shared slightly different projections about whether artificial general intelligence (AGI) would arrive by 2030 or slightly later.</p><p>AGI generally has been understood to mean AI that matches or surpasses most human capabilities, which could have potentially huge implications for health care and other fields.</p><p>The trouble is, AGI remains somewhat of a unicorn. Plenty of tech gurus and AI developers can describe AGI, but no consensus exists on what it would look like or how it could change lives once it gets here, notes a recent <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/21/google-sergey-brin-demis-hassabis-agi-2030" target="_blank" title="Axios: Google leaders see AGI arriving around 2030">Axios report</a>.</p><p>Hassabis predicts developers likely will need a couple more big breakthroughs to get to AGI. One of those breakthroughs already may have been partially achieved via reasoning approaches that Google, OpenAI and others unveiled recently, he said.</p><h3>Takeaway</h3><p>AGI developments bear watching in health care, regardless at what pace they occur. And make no mistake. Experts believe AGI has a future in all fields — whether that’s two, five or 10 years from now. AGI's self-learning can transform health care, improving diagnoses and personalized treatments. However, its integration presents regulatory, ethical and public perception challenges.</p><h2>MedGemma Could Speed Development of Health AI Apps</h2><p>The launch of <a href="https://deepmind.google/models/gemma/medgemma/" target="_blank" title="DeepMind: MedGemma homepage">MedGemma</a>, an open model for multimodal medical text and image comprehension, has the potential to accelerate development of new health applications.</p><p>It is designed to be a starting point for developers building such applications as analyzing radiology images or summarizing clinical data, and its small size makes it efficient for fine-tuning specific needs. When evaluated on the <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.13081" target="_blank" title="What Disease does this Patient Have? A Large-scale Open Domain Question Answering Dataset from Medical Exams">MedQA benchmark</a>, its baseline performance on clinical knowledge and reasoning tasks is similar to that of larger models, Google states.</p><p>MedGemma follows on the heels of Google’s Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer (AMIE) launch last year. AMIE is a research AI system based on a large language model that is optimized for diagnostic reasoning and conversations. Google says it trained and evaluated AMIE along many dimensions that reflect quality in real-world clinical conversations from the perspective of both clinicians and patients.</p><p>To scale AMIE across a multitude of disease conditions, specialties and scenarios, Google developed a self-play-based simulated diagnostic dialog environment with automated feedback mechanisms to enrich and accelerate its learning process.</p><h3>Takeaway</h3><p>Speeding development of medical AI programs is important, but experts note that users must remain diligent in testing programs for the possibility of errors, privacy breaches, biases in decision-making and potential replacement of human judgment.</p><h2>An AI operating system to enhance efficiency</h2><p>Google outlined how its Search with <a href="https://blog.google/products/search/ai-mode-search/" target="_blank" title="Google: Expanding AI Overviews and introducing AI Mode">AI Mode</a> powered by Gemini 2.5 (an experimental tool at this point) could help health care organizations improve operational efficiency, improve the patient experience and support better clinical outcomes. A <a href="https://medium.com/@rstechcreations2020/gemini-2-5-pro-vs-complex-clinical-notes-you-wont-believe-how-well-it-did-978c21c2e75f" target="_blank" title="Medium: Gemini 2.5 Pro vs Complex Clinical Notes: You Won’t BELIEVE How Well It Did!">new report</a> shows one health care AI expert’s experiments with Gemini 2.5.</p><p>The AI Mode rollout to all U.S. users employs Gemini 2.5’s advanced reasoning, multimodal capabilities and contextual understanding to handle complex, longer queries (two to three times longer than traditional searches) and ask follow-up questions. It provides conversational answers rather than traditional link-based results.</p><p>Google’s Deep Search, meanwhile, breaks down queries, performs web exploration, iteratively browses and synthesizes information into structured responses or reports. AI Mode incorporates Deep Search, which analyzes hundreds of sources in real time to generate comprehensive research reports, enhancing its utility for in-depth queries.</p><h3>Takeaway</h3><p>Potential use cases include image classification, clinical reports, summarization, triage and medical Q&A. The models are for research, not clinical use, requiring developers to validate and adapt them before deployment. Google states that health care users can use Deep Search to assist physicians in summarizing a patient’s medical history across multiple providers, analyzing lab results and other tests, while generating a comprehensive overview to support decision-making.</p></div><div class="col-md-4"><p><a href="/center" title="Visit the AHA Center for Health Innovation landing page."><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/logo-aha-innovation-center-color-sm.jpg" data-entity-uuid="7ade6b12-de98-4d0b-965f-a7c99d9463c5" alt="AHA Center for Health Innovation logo" width="721" height="130" data-entity- type="file" class="align-center"></a></p><p><a href="/center/form/innovation-subscription"><img src="/sites/default/files/2019-04/Market_Scan_Call_Out_360x300.png" data-entity-uuid data-entity-type alt width="360" height="300"></a></p></div></div></div>.field_featured_image { position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } .featured-image{ position: absolute; overflow: hidden; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: 1px; width: 1px; margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0; } h2 { color: #9d2235; } h3 { color: #9d2235; } Tue, 03 Jun 2025 06:15:00 -0500 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agencies release guidance on AI data security  /news/headline/2025-05-28-agencies-release-guidance-ai-data-security <p>The National Security Agency, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and international partners May 22 released <a href="/system/files/media/file/2025/05/joint-cybersecurity-information-tlp-clear-ai-data-security-may-2025.pdf">guidance</a> on securing data used for artificial intelligence and machine learning systems.

A brain that is half generative AI and have biological brain connecting health care data." width="1200" height="751"><p>As health care organizations grapple with rising operational costs, an aging population and a worsening workforce crisis, the need for transformative solutions has never been greater. A new Accenture report, <a href="https://www.accenture.com/content/dam/accenture/final/accenture-com/document-3/AI-Amplified-Scaling-Productivity-Final.pdf" target="_blank" title="Accenture—Gen AI amplified: Scaling productivity for healthcare providers">“Gen AI Amplified: Scaling productivity for health care providers,”</a> highlights how generative artificial intelligence (AI) can offer a critical path forward — unlocking unprecedented productivity gains, enhancing patient care and reshaping the future of care delivery.</p><h2>Health Care’s Inflection Point</h2><p>Health care providers face a historic staffing shortage: By 2033, the U.S. is projected to lack as many as 139,000 physicians while the global nursing shortfall could reach 13 million. Traditional solutions like increased hiring and training alone cannot meet this demand. Providers must embrace innovative technologies to scale human capacity.</p><p>Generative AI presents a powerful opportunity. According to Accenture’s survey of 300 U.S. health care C-suite executives, 83% view boosting employee efficiency as the biggest opportunity of generative AI, and 77% expect it to drive direct revenue growth productivity gains. Early pilots show promise — automating routine tasks, improving data analysis and enhancing decision-making — but widespread adoption remains limited.</p><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Potential-Benefits-of-Generative-AI-in-Health-Care.png" data-entity-uuid="2fbbdc98-8b8d-4810-8e21-52ee7353de18" data-entity-type="file" alt="Potential Benefits of Generative AI in Health Care. 70% of health care workers’ tasks could be reinvented with AI. 20%: Automation could free up 20% of nurses’ repetitive tasks, unlocking $50 billion annually. 9+: Generative AI could help doctors see 9 additional patients per month. Source: Accenture 2025." width="896" height="197"><p>Despite high awareness, a major execution gap exists. While 83% of health care organizations are piloting generative AI, fewer than 10% have invested in the infrastructure needed for enterprise-wide deployment. Without decisive action, health care risks falling behind industries like automotive and finance, where AI-driven gains are already significant.</p><h2>A Road Map for Action</h2><p>The Accenture report outlines four critical steps to help health care leaders move from fragmented pilots to scaled implementation:</p><ol><li><span><strong>Build a reinvention-ready digital core.</strong></span> A robust digital infrastructure — including cloud integration, seamless data access and scalable AI capabilities — is essential. Organizations with a strong digital foundation are poised to reinvent twice as many functions with generative AI over the next three years compared with those without.</li><li><span><strong>Strengthen data quality and strategy.</strong></span> High-quality, centralized data are a prerequisite for reliable AI outcomes. Health care providers must prioritize data cleansing, standardization and accessibility to empower AI to deliver clinical and operational benefits.</li><li><span><strong>Prioritize responsible and secure AI deployment.</strong></span> As the use of generative AI expands, safeguarding patient privacy and preventing cybersecurity breaches are nonnegotiable. Embedding responsible AI governance is critical to building trust among patients, providers and regulators.</li><li><span><strong>Forge strategic partnerships.</strong></span> Scaling generative AI requires expertise beyond internal capabilities. Collaborations with technology leaders, academic institutions and specialized vendors are key to accessing cutting-edge tools and accelerating innovation.</li></ol><h2>The Productivity Promise</h2><p>Accenture estimates that 70% of health care workers' tasks could be reinvented through technology. In nursing alone, automation could free up 20% of repetitive tasks.</p><p>Examples already abound:</p><ul><li>Generative AI can automate clinical documentation, giving physicians back minutes to hours per day — time that can be redirected to patient care.</li><li>Generative AI-augmented call centers have reduced patient wait times and improved first-call resolution rates without compromising security.</li><li>AI-enabled clinical appeals processes have achieved a 70% reduction in handling time and a 30% decline in misrouted claims.</li></ul><p>However, staying in pilot mode comes at a cost. Piecemeal implementations prevent providers from achieving the full operational efficiencies that scaled deployment can offer and widen the gap between health care and faster-moving industries.</p><h2>Leadership Alignment Is Critical</h2><p>A unified C-suite vision is essential. While CEOs recognize the transformative potential of generative AI, clinical leaders like chief medical officers (CMOs) and chief nursing officers (CNOs) are often underutilized in planning and deployment efforts, even though clinical workflows are among the most impacted.</p><p>The report stresses that everyone from board members to front-line clinicians must be involved in redefining roles, automating tasks where appropriate and reskilling teams to work alongside AI tools.</p><p>Key takeaways for health care leaders</p><ul><li><strong>The time to act is now.</strong> Scaling generative AI can drive productivity, reduce burnout and enhance patient care — all while improving financial sustainability.</li><li><strong>Build the foundation.</strong> Investment in cloud infrastructure, high-quality data and responsible AI frameworks are nonnegotiable prerequisites.</li><li><strong>Don’t go it alone.</strong> Strategic partnerships will be critical to closing skill gaps and accelerating deployment.</li><li><strong>Empower clinical leadership.</strong> CNOs and CMOs must play a central role in redesigning work processes to ensure that AI initiatives improve, not burden, care delivery.</li><li><strong>View generative AI as an ongoing journey.</strong> Scaling technology is not a one-time event, but a continuous reinvention of how health care operates.</li></ul><p>Generative AI is no longer a futuristic concept; it’s a present-day imperative. Health care organizations that act decisively today by scaling generative AI strategically and responsibly will define the next decade of health care delivery. Those that hesitate risk being left behind.</p><h3>Additional Resource</h3><p><em>The AHA recently released a report to guide hospital and health system executives on using AI and AI-powered technologies to transform their organizations’ operations.
