At TIF 2025 – The Future of Innovation is AI, our CEO Clay Wilemon moderated a panel alongside industry leaders Bill Carpou (CEO, Octane) and Kathleen Peters (Chief Innovation Officer, Experian) during the launch of the AI Innovation Hub.
Positioning the Region as a National AI Model
Leaders from Octane and Experian explored how the new AI Innovation Hub is positioning Orange County as a national model for tech-enabled growth, responsible development, and cross-sector collaboration. The session covered how coordinated access to talent, capital, education, data, customers, policy and clinical innovation is fueling the region’s AI evolution.
AI’s Impact on Healthcare Fraud Detection
The discussion highlighted AI’s transformative potential across industries, including its significant impact on healthcare fraud detection and Special Investigation Unit performance. Healthcare SIU teams face overwhelming data volumes, high false positive rates, and limited investigative resources—challenges that AI technology can help address.
Cross-Sector Collaboration
The panel demonstrated the value of cross-industry perspectives in advancing AI innovation. When leaders from financial services, enterprise data solutions, and healthcare technology share insights, it reveals new approaches to implementing AI solutions across different sectors.
The Collaborative Innovation Model
The Tech Innovation Forum’s approach reflects a broader trend toward collaborative innovation ecosystems. By bringing together diverse industry leaders, events like TIF foster the kind of cross-sector collaboration that drives meaningful AI advancement.
This collaborative model is particularly relevant for healthcare organizations looking to implement AI solutions for fraud detection, as they can learn from successful AI applications in other industries while contributing their own insights to the broader innovation community.
