Artificial Intelligence is no longer the future — it’s here, reshaping how we safeguard patients. But technology alone won’t deliver impact. True transformation happens when AI meets people: when workflows are simplified, teams are empowered, and curiosity drives experimentation. In this session, we explore practical AI applications in patient safety, the lessons learned, and how organizations can prepare their people and processes to thrive. The message is clear: the future of work isn’t survival — it’s evolution.
