Step inside the room where it’s happening. This recording captures the groundbreaking AI panel discussion from the 2026 Delphi Neonatal Innovation Conference, held live on Monday afternoon. Leading experts Dr. Jim Barry (University of Colorado), Dr. Thao Ho (UCSF), Lindsey Knake (University of Iowa), Selva Selvaraj (Nicklaus Children’s Health System), and Dr. Ryan McAdams (University of Wisconsin-Madison) tackle the most pressing questions about AI in the NICU.

From predictive models for sepsis and NEC to AI scribes that transform documentation, our panelists explore what’s actually working today versus what remains science fiction. They discuss the challenge of generalizing AI across different units, navigating ethics and bias, designing tools for families, and envisioning what neonatal care will look like in ten years. If you’re wondering whether we’re ready for AI-driven clinical decisions—or how to avoid “AI fatigue”— this panel discussion is for you!
