AI in Healthcare — Chris Longhurst, MD, MS

Episode 1: AI in Healthcare - People, Data, & Decisions with Dr. Chris Longhurst, CEO of Seattle Children’s Hospital What does it actually look like when artificial intelligence shows up in a real hospital, not as hype, but as a tool people rely on every day? In our first episode of Paths of Curiosity in an AI World, we sit down with Dr. Chris Longhurst, CEO of Seattle Children’s Hospital, to explore how AI is changing healthcare at the level where it matters most: people, data, and decisions. From mission-control-style hospital operations to the human judgment behind AI systems, Dr. Longhurst shares how technology can support, not replace, clinicians, nurses, and care teams. We talk about what AI is already doing behind the scenes, what surprised him most as a healthcare leader, and why curiosity, systems thinking, and ethics matter just as much as coding skills. Whether you’re curious about medicine, data science, leadership, or the future of work, this conversation opens a window into how AI-driven careers actually work in practice. In this episode, we explore: How AI helps hospitals make faster, safer decisions Why healthcare is as much about people as it is about data What students should understand about careers at the intersection of AI and medicine Resources: 1.
