Hospitals love saying they are just piloting AI agents, while those agents are already touching real patients and real money. Internally it is only a test. Externally, real people are getting real outcomes from a system nobody officially owns.
This episode breaks down why pilot is a permission slip rather than a technical description, the three blunt questions that reveal whether your agent is actually in production, the four fences a real pilot has, and why most agents drift into production without anyone deciding to put them there.
Scope, owner, logs, stop button. Without those, it is live.
Keywords: healthcare AI, AI agents, hospital AI, pilot vs production, AI governance, clinical AI oversight, AI accountability, audit trail, patient safety, AI deployment, CMIO, CIO
