    AI in Healthcare: Who Benefits, Who Pays, and Who's at Risk in Our Hybrid Analog Digital Society | Experts Panel With Marco Ciappelli & Sean Martin
    Nov 15 2025
    AI in Healthcare: Who Benefits, Who Pays, and Who's at Risk in Our Hybrid Analog Digital Society🎙️ EXPERT PANEL Hosted By Marco Ciappelli & Sean MartinDr. Robert Pearl - Former CEO, Permanente Medical Group; Author, "ChatGPT, MD"Rob Havasy - Senior Director of Connected Health, HIMSSJohn Sapp Jr. - VP & CSO, Texas Mutual InsuranceJim StClair - VP of Public Health Systems, AltarumRobert Booker - Chief Strategy Officer, HITRUSTI had one of those conversations recently that reminded me why we do what we do at ITSPmagazine. Not the kind of polite, surface-level exchange you get at most industry events, but a real grappling with the contradictions and complexities that define our Hybrid Analog Digital Society.This wasn't just another panel discussion about AI in healthcare. This was a philosophical interrogation of who benefits, who pays, and who's at risk when we hand over diagnostic decisions, treatment protocols, and even the sacred physician-patient relationship to algorithms.The panel brought together some of the most thoughtful voices in healthcare technology: Dr. Robert Pearl, former CEO of the Permanente Medical Group and author of "ChatGPT, MD"; Rob Havasy from HIMSS; John Sapp from Texas Mutual Insurance; Jim StClair from Altarum; and Robert Booker from HITRUST. What emerged wasn't a simple narrative of technological progress or dystopian warning, but something far more nuanced—a recognition that we're navigating uncharted territory where the stakes couldn't be higher.Dr. Pearl opened with a stark reality: 400,000 people die annually from misdiagnoses in America. Another half million die because we fail to adequately control chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes. These aren't abstract statistics—they're lives lost to human error, system failures, and the limitations of our current healthcare model. His argument was compelling: AI isn't replacing human judgment; it's filling gaps that human cognition simply cannot bridge alone.But here's where the conversation became truly fascinating. Rob Havasy described a phenomenon I've noticed across every technology adoption curve we've covered—the disconnect between leadership enthusiasm and frontline reality. Healthcare executives believe AI is revolutionizing their operations, while nurses and physicians on the floor are quietly subscribing to ChatGPT on their own because the "official" tools aren't ready yet. It's a microcosm of how innovation actually happens: messy, unauthorized, and driven by necessity rather than policy.The ethical dimensions run deeper than most people realize. When Marco—my co-host Sean Martin and I—asked about liability, the panel's answer was refreshingly honest: we don't know. The courts will eventually decide who's responsible when an AI diagnostic tool leads to harm. Is it the developer? The hospital? The physician who relied on the recommendation? Right now, everyone wants control over AI deployment but minimal liability for its failures. Sound familiar? It's the classic American pattern of innovation outpacing regulation.John Sapp introduced a phrase that crystallized the challenge: "enable the secure adoption and responsible use of AI." Not prevent. Not rush recklessly forward. But enable—with guardrails, governance, and a clear-eyed assessment of both benefits and risks. He emphasized that AI governance isn't fundamentally different from other technology risk management; it's just another category requiring visibility, validation, and informed decision-making.Yet Robert Booker raised a question that haunts me: what do we really mean when we talk about AI in healthcare? Are we discussing tools that empower physicians to provide better care? Or are we talking about operational efficiency mechanisms designed to reduce costs, potentially at the expense of the human relationship that defines good medicine?This is where our Hybrid Analog Digital Society reveals its fundamental tensions. We want the personalization that AI promises—real-time analysis of wearable health data, pharmacogenetic insights tailored to individual patients, early detection of deteriorating conditions before they become crises. But we're also profoundly uncomfortable with the idea of an algorithm replacing the human judgment, intuition, and empathy that we associate with healing.Jim StClair made a provocative observation: AI forces us to confront the uncomfortable truth about how much of medical practice is actually procedure, protocol, and process rather than art. How many ER diagnoses follow predictable decision trees? How many prescriptions are essentially formulaic responses to common presentations? Perhaps AI isn't threatening the humanity of medicine—it's revealing how much of medicine has always been mechanical, freeing clinicians to focus on the parts that genuinely require human connection.The panel consensus, if there was one, centered on governance. Not as bureaucratic obstruction, but as the framework that allows ...

    The New Copyright and Rights Battle: Who Owns the Sound of AI When Machines Make Music? | A Panel Conversation with  Chandler Lawn, Michael Sheldrick, Drew Thurlow, Puya Partow-Navid, and Marco Ciappelli | Music Evolves with Sean Martin
    Nov 13 2025
    Show NotesAs artificial intelligence begins generating music from vast datasets of human art, a fundamental question emerges: who truly owns the sound of AI? This episode of Music Evolves brings together a law student and former musician Chandler Lawn, music industry executive and professor Drew Thurlow, Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder of Global Citizen, and intellectual property attorney Puya Partow-Navid, alongside hosts Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli, to examine how AI is reshaping authorship, licensing, and the meaning of originality.The panel explores how AI democratizes creation while exposing deep ethical and economic gaps. Lawn raises the issue of whether artists whose works trained AI models deserve compensation, asking if innovation can be ethical when built on uncompensated labor. Thurlow highlights how, despite fears of automation, generative AI music accounts for less than 1% of streaming royalties—suggesting opportunity, not replacement.Sheldrick connects the conversation to a broader global context, describing how music’s economic potential could drive sustainable development if nations modernize copyright frameworks. He views this shift as a rare chance to position creative industries as engines for jobs and growth.Partow-Navid grounds the discussion in legal precedent, pointing to landmark cases—from Two Live Crew to George R. R. Martin—as markers of how courts may interpret fair use, causality, and global jurisdiction in AI-driven creation.Together, the guests agree that the debate extends beyond legality. It’s about the emotional authenticity that makes music human. As Chandler notes, “We connect through imperfection.” Marco adds that live performance may ultimately anchor value in a world saturated by digital replication.This conversation captures the tension—and promise—of a future where music, technology, and law must learn to play in harmony.GuestsChandler Lawn, AI Innovation and Law Fellow at The University of Texas School of Law | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chandlerlawn/Drew Thurlow, Adjunct Professor at Berklee College of Music | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewthurlow/Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder and Chief Policy, Impact and Government Affairs Officer at Global Citizen | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-sheldrick-30364051/Puya Partow-Navid, Partner at Seyfarth Shaw LLP | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/puyapartow/Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.comHostSean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine, Studio C60, and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/ResourcesLegal Publication: You Can’t Alway Get What You Want: A Survey of AI-related Copyright Considerations for the Music Industry published in Vol. 32, No. 3 of the Texas State Bar Entertainment and Sports Law Journal.BOOK: Machine Music: How AI Is Transforming Music’s Next Act by Drew Thurlow: https://www.routledge.com/Machine-Music-How-AI-is-Transforming-Musics-Next-Act/Thurlow/p/book/9781032425242BOOK: From Ideas to Impact: A Playbook for Influencing and Implementing Change in a Divided World by Michael Sheldrick: https://www.fromideastoimpact.com/AI and Copyright Blogs:https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/category/ai/https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/2025/11/dr-thaler-is-right-in-part/https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/2025/07/californias-ai-law-has-set-rules-for-generative-ai-are-you-ready/https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/2025/06/copyright-office-firings-spark-constitutional-concerns-amid-ai-policy-tensions/Newsletter (Article, Video, Podcast): The Human Touch in a Synthetic Age: Why AI-Created Music Raises More Than Just Eyebrows: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/human-touch-synthetic-age-why-ai-created-music-raises-martin-cissp-s9m7e/Article — Universal and Sony Music partner with new platform to detect AI music copyright theft using ‘groundbreaking neural fingerprinting’ technology: https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/universal-and-sony-music-partner-with-new-platform-to-detect-ai-music-copyright-theft-using-groundbreaking-neural-fingerprinting-technology/Article: When Virtual Reality Is A Commodity, Will True Reality Come At A Premium: https://sean-martin.medium.com/when-virtual-reality-is-a-commodity-will-true-reality-come-at-a-premium-4a97bccb4d72Global Citizen: https://www.globalcitizen.org/Gallo Music (Gallo Records, South Africa): https://www.gallo.co.za/Global Citizen Festival: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/festival/Andy Warhol Foundation v.

    THE SEASONS IN A BREATH

    Autumn appeared at the window and looked around
    — it was November.

    "The leaves are yellow and red.
    The swallows fly away in flocks over the rooftops.
    The crisp air smells of roasted chestnuts and burning wood.
    I like it this way,"
    Autumn exclaimed.

    Winter opened the door and looked around
    — it was January.

    "The snow and the freezing wind.
    In the woods, mistletoe on branches beneath a blanket of ice.
    The marmot sleeps in her covered den, dreaming of the stars.
    How lovely it is to be warm and cozy!"
    Winter exclaimed.

    Spring stepped out onto the terrace and looked around
    — it was April.

    "The flowers bloom and the birds chirp, returning to their nests.
    With the mild temperature, joyful life vibrates in the air.
    How wonderful!"
    Spring exclaimed.

    Summer went into the garden and looked around
    — it was July.

    A cat rests in the shade of a pine tree.
    The air smells of cut grass and ripe fruit.
    The butterflies dance carefree to the song of the cicadas.
    The sun makes me smile!"
    Summer exclaimed.

    The months pass and the year spins at great speed,
    but they will always bring something beautiful.
