Yesterday, a room full of patients and families told AIMed what they want the people and companies building AI to understand about their care. This panel asks the question none of them were actually asked: when AI, not a person, makes the call, does the patient get told?

AI is already operating with real clinical authority across healthcare today: generating documentation no one reviews line by line, triggering risk pathways with no human sign-off, shaping decisions patients assume a person made. Speakers stake out genuinely opposing positions on a live motion and cross-examine each other directly, with the room voting before and after to see if anyone's position moves.
