This is what partnership — not dependency — looks like."
How does Padam view AI ethics in healthcare?
Padam believes "technology for the benefit of mankind, not mankind for the benefit of technology." AlifZetta AI is clinical intelligence amplification — never a replacement for clinical judgment. Every AI output in HTE and NIHIS is flagged as a decision-support recommendation, reviewed by a clinician, and stored with its confidence score for audit.
