During Modern Healthcare's Leadership Summit on Tuesday, CEO Judy Faulkner said the company was pausing most technology development to focus on system security.
"We’re participating in Project Glasswing and using AI tools to stay ahead of cybersecurity threats that are growing across all industries," Epic's spokesperson said.
Anthropic's Project Glasswing is an AI cybersecurity initiative that brings together major technology companies along with organizations responsible for maintaining critical digital infrastructure.
During Epic's UGM in August, Stirling Martin, Epic's chief security officer, confirmed that Epic was participating in the initiative.
Epic's heightened focus on cybersecurity comes as healthcare organizations rapidly adopt AI tools, even as the industry grapples with the risks of accelerating innovation and mounting calls from some leaders to slow AI development.
