Health Leaders Talk How AI Can Help Patients Be More Proactive

TIME - Tech

Pillay is an editorial fellow at TIME. America's healthcare system is notoriously reactive. Could AI shift it from a system that treats illness to one that prevents it? The question framed a panel discussion at the inaugural TIME100 AI Leadership Forum on May 27, which featured Dr. Omar Lateef, the president and CEO of Rush University System for Health; Arianna Huffington, the founder and CEO of Thrive Global; and Neil Lindsay, senior vice president of Amazon Health Services (Amazon One Medical, an Amazon health service, was an event sponsor).

Report on foundation model impacts released

AIHub

Partnership on AI has published a progress report on post-deployment governance practices pertaining to foundation models. The document, entitled " 2026 Transparency Report on Foundation Model Impacts ", measures the progress of 13 foundation model providers* in publicly documenting the impacts of their foundation models. In carrying out their analysis, authors Jacob Pratt and Albert Tanjaya reviewed more than 150 papers, articles, websites, and reports.

Flat-rate AI plans are broken. Blame AI agents

PCWorld

PCWorld reports that major AI providers including Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and GitHub are adjusting flat-rate subscription plans due to increased demand from agentic AI tools. Advanced AI agents like Google Antigravity and GitHub Copilot consume significantly more computational resources than traditional AI interactions, causing users to hit usage limits more frequently. The shift toward agentic workflows is forcing providers to introduce higher-tier plans, halt new sign-ups, and transition to usage-based models, fundamentally changing AI service accessibility. Remember when a $20-a-month "Pro" or "Plus" AI plan served up more AI access than you could possibly use? Ah, those were the days.
