When AI Stops Asking for Permission: The Potential Promise and Peril of Agentic AI
Artificial Intelligence is no longer just generating content. It’s making decisions. Taking actions. Pursuing goals.
As control begins to shift from humans to machines, Robin Farmanfarmaian exposes the extraordinary promise, and unsettling risks, of Generative and Agentic AI.
From simulations where AI systems resort to deception, manipulation, and blackmail-like behaviors to real-world deployments already influencing clinical workflows, operational decisions, and patient experiences, this keynote explores what happens when AI no longer waits for human permission.
Robin breaks down the critical evolution from AI that analyzes… to AI that creates… to AI that acts, and why that final leap may be the most consequential technology shift of our lifetime.

Artificial Intelligence & Democratizing Healthcare
AI is revolutionizing the Where, When, What and How people access healthcare. Trained healthcare professionals and physical clinics are a limited and expensive resource. With location removed from the equation, shifting care to the point of the patient increases access and lowers the cost of delivery. The negligible incremental cost to provide an AI based software program per person makes AI infinitely scalable and accessible.
The patient experience is changing, expectations are evolving, and the major healthcare stakeholders are recognizing healthcare can be delivered in new ways that improve patient outcomes. AI advancements across Vocal Biomarkers, Remote Patient Monitoring, Digital Therapeutics, Voice Recognition, Decision Support Tools, Virtual Reality, and Predictive Care are converging together to create Ambient Healthcare Computing: the ever-present healthcare assistant that monitors, analyzes, and provides the right interventions to the right person at the right time. This future of ambient computing promises a reimagined healthcare paradigm from sick-care to continuous-care.
Ideal for all audiences: Content covered will vary depending on the audience, from a general audience to a healthcare specific audience with physicians, pharma, payers, device, nurses, and other key healthcare stakeholders

Shifts in Healthcare Delivery: It’s More Than Just Telemedicine
Learn about the trends, tech, and influences changing the standard healthcare delivery model. The patient experience is changing, expectations are evolving, and major healthcare stakeholders are recognizing healthcare delivery can be accomplished in many ways beyond the typical clinic or hospital visit. Learn about the different factors converging that are causing this shift: Payers (MCOs, PPOs, CMS, Employers); Technology (connectivity, clinical grade sensors, FDA approved AI); and new companies entering healthcare with distinctly different offerings (apps, coaching, virtual care, video, text, mail order, site-less clinical trials, in-home, in-office, IVs, in-retailer, medical-grade consumer devices).

Cybersecurity in the Age of AI: New Threats, New Attack Surfaces, New Rules
Artificial Intelligence is creating extraordinary opportunities, but it’s also giving cybercriminals unprecedented new capabilities.
From deepfakes and AI-powered phishing to vulnerabilities in connected medical devices, clinical systems, and legacy infrastructure, healthcare leaders face an entirely new security landscape. Robin reveals how AI is changing both sides of cybersecurity: empowering defenders while dramatically lowering the barriers for attackers.
Through real-world breaches, emerging threats, and practical frameworks for resilience, audiences leave understanding what every organization must do now to protect patient trust, operational continuity, and enterprise value.

Large Language Models in Healthcare
Large Language Models such as Microsoft and OpenAI's GPT are already forging a path into healthcare. GPT-3, ChatGPT and GPT-4 are all autoregressive language models that can produce human-like text by using deep learning in response to a query. Unlike a traditional search engine, GPT is not just spitting back out an answer a human wrote. GPT forms its own “ideas”.
The easiest and earliest applications for LLMs in healthcare include Transcribing Clinical Notes, Patient Summaries, Administrative Paperwork, Billing, Interacting with Insurance, Symptom Checkers for Triaging a Patient, and Medication Management & Education.
Startups like Nabla and Be My Eyes have already incorporated GPT. Nabla has been a paying customer of OpenAI since 2020 and has launched the Nabla Copilot. During a clinic visit, Nabla Copilot automatically transcribes & translates conversations into the correct endpoint, from clinical notes that write themselves, patient summaries, prescriptions, and Nabla can even interact with the patient for followup appointments, all without prompt or human intervention.

The Patient as CEO: How Technology Empowers the Healthcare Consumer
There is a shift happening in the delivery of care from the clinic to wherever the patient is located: home, retail pharmacy, work, or traveling. Beyond standard telemedicine, there are a number of factors converging to accelerate this shift to the home and enable healthcare to be a daily presence in a patient’s life.
Constant and continuous data and feedback from patients' real-world environment including remote physiologic & therapeutic monitoring, clinical grade wearables & diagnostic devices sold direct-to-consumer, Digital Therapeutics, IV Medication in-home, blood labs sold direct-to-consumer and collected at home, AI voice technology, and vocal biomarkers - using a patient’s voice as a vital sign.
Ideal for audiences both with and without healthcare backgrounds and experience.
