S1, E51 - Reflections #7: When the Machine Is Almost Always Right, Who Is Still Thinking?

In their seventh Reflections episode, and their fifty-first overall, Steve and Leon look back across six conversations: Mika Newton on interoperability that finally started working, Peter Embi on monitoring clinical AI after deployment, Vimla Patel on how clinicians actually reason, Renee Deehan on an engine built so it can't hallucinate, Christine Dymek on AI literacy, and Jeremy Harper on an adoption curve that broke. They decide against forcing a single grand lesson and find three threads anyway: keeping a human in the loop as a deliberate design decision, the national clearinghouse for AI errors that still doesn't exist, and whether literacy is even the right word for what healthcare workers need.
