Keynote selected from 330+ submissions for the AMIA 2025 Clinical Informatics Conference.
Most organizations already use AI in decisions that matter: who gets care, who gets credit, which students get flagged. Few can say who owns each system, what it is allowed to do, or who can stop it.
That gap lands on the board. Regulators, accreditors and plaintiffs will not ask whether you adopted AI. They will ask whether you governed it.
Dr. Seba gives leaders a practical way to close that gap: a short list of decisions to make now, owners for each one, and a structure that holds up when someone asks hard questions.
For conferences, leadership retreats and all-hands meetings. Audiences leave with a framework, not just a warning. In person or virtual, from 45-minute keynotes to full-day working sessions.
A confidential 60–90 minute session for directors. Covers fiduciary duty, decision rights, risk tiering and the questions to ask management. Your board keeps the checklist.
Independent, vendor-neutral guidance as you scale AI. Starts with a leadership briefing or readiness assessment and continues as embedded, fractional support.
Each talk can run as a keynote, workshop or board briefing, and is tailored to your audience and industry.
For CEOs, founders and executive teams that need governance they can stand up in weeks, not a policy that takes a year.
For boards and trustees. Twelve governance domains, translated into the board’s language of oversight, risk and accountability.
For CIOs, risk officers and executives preparing for AI that takes actions on its own.
For health systems, clinical leaders and hospital boards governing clinical and operational AI.
For presidents, provosts and trustees navigating AI in teaching, admissions, academic integrity and research.
For banks and fintechs balancing speed with model risk, fair lending and regulator expectations.
The smallest set of oversight practices that makes AI defensible: know what you run, tier the risk, assign decision rights, and be ready for incidents. Borrowed from Silicon Valley’s minimum viable product discipline.
Purpose, Problems, Profits, People, Planet, Process, Policy, Protections, Privacy, Provenance, Preparedness and Product Ownership. A checklist a board can use without being AI experts.
