Episode 60 - Authenticity Over Perfection: AI, Trust, and the Future of Healthcare Philanthropy
AI is no longer a remote concept; it’s here, reshaping how we communicate, work, and lead. But in a value-based sector such as healthcare philanthropy, AI adoption isn’t just about innovation; it’s about alignment, trust, and purpose. Curiosity fuels exploration, and authenticity remains the most valuable currency of our time. As organizations struggle with bureaucracy, privacy, and ethical considerations, the only thing that remains true is that moving forward with AI needs more than just technology; it requires intentionality. In this week’s episode, Nathan and Scott explore the importance of staying true to yourself in the age of AI.
Nathan and Scott address you from the first AHP association for healthcare philanthropy, the AI Conference, and highlight the slow AI adoption of the healthcare industry due to bureaucracy and privacy concerns. Then, Nathan and Scott talk about the top two use cases of generative AI in the year 2025: ‘Therapy Companionship’ and ‘Organizing My Life.’ Nathan kindly explains the concept of ‘Great Flattening, ’ which is basically a return to the authenticity stage from internet perfection. Nathan also reminds us that the things technology can do are awesome, but it’s important to remember who we are without those curated perfections. They also share their take on the limitations of AI when it comes to providing emotional support. AI or any kind of bot can project and pretend, but it cannot ever feel the way humans do. Nathan further points out that the inherent human need to feel heard couldn’t be fulfilled by a bot.
Nathan and Scott also discuss the following topics further in the conversation: artificial intimacy, the manipulative nature of AI, and practical use cases for nonprofit AI.
