[AI Health Leaders] Bill Gibson: Trust Over Tech In Healthcare AI

In our podcast series AI Health Leaders, we bring you exclusive insights from the trailblazers of digital health and AI innovation. Join us as we interview industry leaders, visionary founders, and top tech executives shaping the future of healthcare through artificial intelligence.

In this episode, we speak to Bill Gibson, who is an experienced technical leader and has led engineering and product teams across startups and large companies. He brings real-world perspective to AI implementation and product development.

In this interview, Bill talks about:

  • Anchoring AI features in natural workflows: don’t bolt on chatbots; embed intelligence where users already expect it.
  • Enforcing trust through transparency: always label AI‑generated content and surface confidence scores and data provenance.
  • Focusing on achievable use cases: massive datasets alone won’t guarantee success; start with narrowly scoped, high impact AI applications.
  • Designing for model evolution: use abstraction layers (like Cursor or Windsurf) so you can swap underlying AI engines as they improve.
  • Outsourcing selectively: retain your strategic “special sauce” and core architecture in‑ house, but consider contracting out standard, non‑differentiating features.

Key quote: “Trust is the whole thing… we need to make sure that we clearly differentiate that this is not a doc, this is not a nurse, this is not a medical practitioner. This is an AI.”
