Contrast and Clarity with the JACR31 Mai

43. Yea But...Who Watches the Algorithms?

For years, the AI conversation in radiology has focused on one question:

Will AI replace radiologists?

But what if we've been asking the wrong question this whole time?

In this episode of Contrast & Clarity with the JACR, Maddi and Jeff sit down with Tessa Cook, MD, PhD to explore one of the biggest unsolved challenges in healthcare AI:

Who watches the algorithms after they are deployed?

AI models don't behave like CT scanners or medications. They can drift, degrade, and encounter new populations, protocols, and real-world conditions long after FDA clearance. That's where Assess-AI, the ACR Data Science Institute's fist national AI monitoring initiative, comes in.

Using large language models to extract findings from radiology reports, Assess-AI creates a scalable way to compare AI predictions against what radiologists actually report.

In other words: Radiologists read the scans. AI reads the scans. And now AI is reading the radiologists.

Join us as we discuss AI governance, post-deployment monitoring, model drift, and why radiology may be uniquely positioned to become healthcare's AI control tower.

Because building AI is one thing. Building systems we can trust is another.
