The panel was moderated by physician Trishan Panch and included technology executives Javier Tordable and Ben Zeskind and health care researchers Heather Mattie and Leo Anthony Celi.

If we keep doing the intuitive thing, we’re going to keep getting the same results. So that’s why counterintuitive insights are so important,” Zeskin said. “I think that’s kind of the beauty of AI and computation.”
Tordable said that there is
