Agentic tools can thus handle the 'how,' while clinicians handle the 'why.'

Verified. Quote: "Agentic tools can thus handle the 'how,' while clinicians handle the 'why.'" attributed to Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld (clinical anesthesiologist, former AMA President, co-chair of AAMI's AI standards committee, Global CMO at Aidoc) in the AAMI article "From AI Hype to Healing: Leading Clinician Shares Hope for an AI Renaissance" (2026). The source URL (aami.org) returned 403 to WebFetch, but WebSearch confirmed the exact quote appears verbatim on that AAMI page and is attributed to Ehrenfeld. The quote is relevant to statement 440 ("Regulated industries should prohibit AI from making autonomous decisions where fiduciary duty applies"): Ehrenfeld explicitly reserves the "why" (clinical reasoning/judgment, which is where fiduciary duty lies) for human clinicians, while delegating only the procedural "how" to agentic AI tools. This aligns with a "for" vote on the statement, since he supports keeping autonomous decision-making (the "why") with humans in a regulated, fiduciary-duty context. Year 2026 is current; no edits needed.
