“AI Risk in 2026: What Happens When Engineers Don’t Understand It | Pratt Blueprint Episode 1”

The latest video series from Pratt Blueprint, “AI Risk in 2026: What Happens When Engineers Don’t Understand It”, features Duke BIG IDEAs Lab‘s Dr. Jessilyn Dunn, alongside lab alumna Dr. Brinnae Bent, PhD!

In the episode, Jessilyn brings a healthcare perspective to the conversation about AI, discussing both its potential to improve how we understand and support human health and the care required to translate these tools into real-world settings. Her insights highlight the importance of pairing advances in AI with thoughtful evaluation and human judgment, especially when health decisions are involved.

It’s wonderful to see Duke Engineering Dean Jerome P. Lynch bring together Duke experts, including Dr. Charles Kneifel, for this broader conversation about the opportunities and challenges surrounding AI.
