#05 2024 is the Year of AI Safety, Gesund.AI CEO & Founder Enes Hoşgör, Ph.D

More and more AI products are being built for healthcare, but how are we ensuring safety?

After all, these tools are being used to impact the patient journey and this people's lives - safety and transparency are therefore paramount.

The regulatory guidelines are ever-moving and often complex, posing a tricky problem for AI vendors - how do they build and commercialize a success product in a notoriously challenging space whilst at the same time ensuring adherence to regulation?

This is where Enes Hosgor & his company Gesund.AI come in.

Enes is a seasoned entrepreneur who's no stranger to navigating the intricacies of regulated industries. His journey, from a successful exit with his ML-based company EEme in the electricity sector to learning the complexities of healthcare AI with CareSyntax, has led him to a crucial realization: healthcare AI lacks a robust, underlying infrastructure to ensure safety and compliance proactively.

This gap in the market birthed Gesund.AI, whose chief aim is to provide a secure, transparent platform that empowers AI vendors to validate their products independently and ensure regulatory compliance. 

We discuss how Gesund's platform can turbo-charge safe and transparent AI development, their other offerings - including access to diverse datasets - and glean wisdom from Enes's rich experience as an entrepreneur in the space.
