The CHARGE Brief — Letter I

Welcome to Letter I of The CHARGE Brief. This issue covers interviews with Jason G. Cooper  on keeping humans in the loop; the Abridge-NVIDIA partnership and the risk of recursive AI; and a Watch on Sentri7's missed fentanyl diversions, OpenEvidence's dispute with a Nature study, and AI-assisted genomic reanalysis in rare disease. Plus Openings across health-AI governance.

Openings

OpenAI — Product Policy, Biosecurity Policy Manager. San Francisco, CA — hybrid, full-time. $261k/yr–$290k/yr. OpenAI's product policy team develops and implements governance policies for OpenAI's suite of services, including ChatGPT, Codex, GPTs and the OpenAI API. As OpenAI expands its operations into biological and clinical applications, its liability surface for clinically sensitive information expands. Biosecurity Policy Managers will help define how OpenAI enables biomedical research while mitigating what it defines as "biological harm."

Mayo Clinic — Senior Director for AI Implementation and Adoption. Rochester, MN — in person, full-time.

Mayo Clinic — Director: AI Governance Technologies. Rochester, MN — in person, full-time.

Mayo Clinic — Director: AI Validation and Monitoring. Rochester, MN — in person, full-time.

Mayo Clinic — Director: AI Governance Operations. Rochester, MN — in person, full-time.

We originally intended to highlight these four Mayo Clinic roles, each posted on June 15th, as evidence of the growing demand for AI governance directors across major American care networks. As of June 25th, Mayo Clinic has closed applications for each and removed them from their website — a remarkable turnaround for senior directorship positions, and a sign that demand for AI governance is bidirectional.

Montefiore — Vice President, Chief Medical Information Officer. Bronx, NY — on site, full-time. $360k/yr–$450k/yr. Montefiore is seeking a "visionary" CMIO to lead, coordinate and drive system-wide adoption of AI-enablement in Epic and similar digital solutions. The CMIO is also expected to maintain a part-time clinical practice.

VA Central California Health Care System (VACCHCS) — Chief Health Informatics Officer. Fresno, CA — on site, full-time. $225k/yr–$400k/yr. The CHIO will direct programs related to clinical informatics operations at all VACCHCS sites and report directly to the VACCHCS Chief of Staff.
