Shadow AI is creeping in to healthcare - leaders need to recognize the risk before it’s too late
THE SO WHAT
Shadow AI in healthcare isn’t a tooling problem—it’s a governance vacuum where clinicians reach for unapproved models to get work done. If you run a regulated environment, assume AI is already in use off the books and move quickly to provide sanctioned options with clear guardrails before regulators or incidents force your hand.

Applied AIIntroducing Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber
Google is segmenting its model line by latency, cost, and security specialization—3.6 Flash for speed, Flash-Lite for ultra-cheap, Flash Cyber for vuln-hunting. If you’re standardizing on Gemini, you now have a clearer menu to right-size models per workflow instead of overpaying for a single default.
Applied AICan AI Ruin Something as Innocent as Birdwatching?
Even birdwatching is now a battleground between assisted and “pure” experiences—AI IDs vs. human observation. For consumer products, expect a split market: one segment wants AI everywhere, another will pay to opt out.
Applied AIGoogle launches Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber, and says it has started its "most ambitious pre-training run yet" for Gemini 4
Google is pushing a barbell strategy—cheap, fast Flash variants for mass deployment now, while quietly spinning up a huge Gemini 4 pre-train for the next capability jump. If you’re building on Gemini, optimize around Flash economics this year but keep your high-stakes roadmap modular enough to swap in Gemini 4 without a full rewrite.
Google doubles down on cheaper, faster AI — but says Gemini 3.5 Pro still isn't ready
Google is prioritizing cost and latency with Flash and Lite while the higher-end 3.5 Pro slips—suggesting near-term demand is skewed toward “good enough” at scale rather than frontier performance. If you’re cost-sensitive, this is a green light to design around mid-tier models and bank the unit economics now.
