Closing out 2025 with its biggest story: Artificial intelligence

Listen to the episode here. 

 

Here we are, our last episode of Off the Record this year. I hope you’ve had a great 2025. Just my voice today. 

I’m ending with a solocast, a reading/summary of a paper about the biggest news story of the year: The explosive growth and proliferation of artificial intelligence, or AI.  

You might recall my poll from a couple weeks ago; you all confirmed it. 44% of respondents chose AI, beating out even the intense scrutiny of Medicare Advantage (33%) and increased denials from payers (12%). 

Where do people fit with this tech? None of us really know, but I offer my opinion here. 

*** 

I also wanted to end the year with a simple Thank You to my guests and listeners. Without you there would be no Off the Record. 

Thanks for all the kind words about the show you’ve left here on Linkedin and elsewhere. They buoy my spirits; we all like to be heard. 

A final question: 

What do you want to see more of, next year? Any topic suggestions, great guests I should host? Do you want panels, topic deep-dives, more hot takes? 

Send me an email, leave a comment here or drop me a message at brian.murphy@norwood.com
