The image of a wild horse running in the wild is an amazing experience, a creature of immense power and beauty, but one that demands respect, skill, and foresight to harness. If left untamed, its potential for causing havoc is as great as its capacity for good. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no different.

Like a wild horse, AI is transformative. It can accelerate drug discovery, personalise patient care, and predict health risks with astonishing accuracy. But its power comes with risks that mirror the unpredictability of a wild horse:
The risk of embedded bias: AI trained on flawed or incomplete data inherits human prejudices, leading to misdiagnoses or unequal care.
The unpredictability challenge: Even well-designed AI can behave unexpectedly, making decisions that surprise its developers.
Harm when unchecked: Without guardrails, AI tools could prioritise efficiency over empathy, or automation over critical human judgment.
The stakes are highest in healthcare, a field where errors cost lives, and trust is sacred.

No one would try and ride a wild horse without it being trained and controlled well. Similarly, AI cannot thrive without intentional design, ethical frameworks, andย human oversight. This means:
Transparency: Understanding how AI arrives at decisions.
Accountability: Ensuring someone is responsible when things go wrong.
Collaboration: Engineers, clinicians, ethicists, and patients must co-create solutions.
