What challenges does health care still face when implementing AI?The excitement of ambient scribes and AI chatbots has started to wear off, and health care is running out of quick wins as it looks to construct this "new world."

She told Newsweek that there are abundant stories of new AI algorithms that show promising results but few that have actually proven themselves beyond mere promise.
