A fast-paced Stanford Healthcare AI podcast episode with Optum Insight CEO Sandeep Dadlani exploring how large healthcare enterprises are actually using AI today. The conversation covers the shift from simple chatbots to long-running agentic workflows, the exploding costs and risks of LLM tokens, model choice and “lock-in” (including GLM 5.2), and why AI is rapidly becoming the business, not just a project. 

In this episode of the Stanford AI and Healthcare podcast, hosts Matt Lungren and Justin Norden interview Dr. Bob Wachter, Chair of Medicine at UCSF and author of The Digital Doctor and The Giant Leap.

This episode explores the rapid, bottom‑up adoption of AI in healthcare, featuring co-founder and general partner at Town Hall Ventures and former CMS (U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) administrator Andy Slavitt. Along with hosts Justin Norden and Matt Lungren, Andy discusses the evolving LLM landscape, why many clinicians use AI daily despite organizational resistance, and why leaders can’t delegate AI literacy. They examine regulatory challenges, CMS’s new access model that directly rewards effective AI, and how the same tools doctors use are empowering patients to manage their own health.
