What helps us build a healthier relationship with AI? According to UC Berkeley Haas Professional Faculty member @drsaharyousef, the answer may be simpler than you think: mindfulness. Drawing on her research at the intersection of AI and the brain, Professor Yousef explains how cultivating "presence of mind" can help us avoid over-relying on AI—not just for our thinking, but for our emotional lives as well. As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, developing intentional habits may be one of the most valuable skills we can build. #BerkeleyHaas #UCBerkeley #HumanEdgeofAI #HaasAI

What happens when you train a healthcare AI model not on medical textbooks, but on the information in doctors’ heads—and how they make decisions in the moment? That’s the idea behind Knit Health, a new startup born from a cross-campus collaboration between experts from the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley Public Health, and the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society (CDSS), incubated at the Center for Healthcare Marketplace Innovation (CHMI). Co-founded by Jonathan Kolstad, Jonas Knecht, Maya Petersen, and Ted Robertson, Knit has built the first large clinical behavior model (LCBM)—trained on the anonymized electronic health records of more than 130 million patients across 30 major U.S. health systems, roughly a third of the American population. It’s a powerful example of what happens when a university dissolves the boundaries between disciplines: economics, computational precision health, biostatistics, and behavioral design to build something new. “There are only a couple of places where you have that confluence of interdisciplinary skills,” Kolstad says. “Berkeley is one of the top.” 🔗 Read the full story at the link in our bio.
