Speaking
On academic medical center transformation, the future of medical education, and the identity of the human in the work of medicine.
Featured
Your humanity is not the flaw. It is the feature.
UF Master’s and Bachelor’s Commencement Address · August 2025
In August 2025 I delivered the summer commencement address to the University of Florida’s Class of 2025. The speech braids the geography of improbability, Lorca’s duende, and the nonalgorithmic self into a single argument: in a future filled with the promise of artificial intelligence, the human work of medicine is what cannot be delegated. It became the founding artifact of this publication.
Topics I speak on
The AI-native academic medical center
Governance, talent, infrastructure, and accountability for AMCs redesigned around the AI era.
Medical education in the AI era
Curriculum, residency, certification, and the formation of clinicians who will practice with AI at the bedside.
The nonalgorithmic self
Identity, vulnerability, and what the practice of medicine protects about being human in the AI era.

Publications
My peer-reviewed work spans clinical AI, critical care, nephrology, and the regulatory and ethical architecture that has to grow up around them. Two recent papers with legal scholar Barbara J. Evans on how the governance of biomedical AI should be reconceived:
Evans BJ, Bihorac A. Co-creating Consent for Data Use: AI-Powered Ethics for Biomedical AI. NEJM AI. 2024.
On why consent as designed in the 1970s cannot protect privacy in modern biomedical AI, and what should replace it.
Evans BJ, Bihorac A. Reconceiving Safety Regulation for AI and ML Medical Software. Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment and Technology Law.
On the safety-regulation architecture that AI and machine-learning medical software actually needs.
