Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping professional industries — from drafting legal opinions to reviewing medical claims. But without guardrails, its use poses enormous legal, ethical, and malpractice risks. Recognizing this urgent gap, The MedLegal Professor™, led by Nikki Mehrpoo, has launched the EEE AI Governance Protocol™, the first enforcement-grade compliance framework designed to protect licensed professionals, regulated industries, and public trust.
Why AI Governance Matters Now
AI is already making high-stakes decisions:
- Drafting legal documents
- Reviewing insurance and medical claims
- Screening job candidates
- Recommending disciplinary actions
Yet, there are few binding standards to ensure these outcomes are defensible, ethical, and regulator-ready.
“Healthcare education is evolving at breakneck speed, making rigorous AI governance not a preference but a mandate,” said Dr. Raji Akileh, D.O., CEO of MedEd Cloud. “In collaboration with The MedLegal Professor, MedEd Cloud is embedding these protocols into every initiative to ensure regulator-ready deployment of AI systems.”
The Liability Crisis Facing Professionals
Even when AI contributes to decisions, licensed professionals remain fully accountable under malpractice and regulatory laws. Without governance systems in place, organizations face exposure to:
- Malpractice risk
- Litigation
- Regulatory investigation
Mehrpoo warns: “If you can’t defend an AI decision in court, you should never let it leave your workflow.”
Introducing the EEE AI Governance Protocol™
Built on the Educate. Empower. Elevate. methodology, the EEE Protocol™ establishes enforcement-grade compliance across two levels:
- Organizational Level → Readiness standards, governance policies, and AI deployment strategies.
- Workflow Level → Documentation, evidentiary controls, and audit-ready compliance for every AI-augmented decision.
This ensures oversight begins before automation, closing governance blind spots and aligning with regulatory expectations.
AI+HI™ Initiative: Human Intelligence Leads
The Protocol is reinforced by the AI+HI™ Initiative, which champions the principle:
“Human Intelligence Leads. Artificial Intelligence Powers.”
This non-negotiable mandate keeps humans in command of AI, preserving accountability, ethics, and public trust.
Early Proof of Adoption
Organizations across industries are already integrating the Protocol:
Effingo Tech LLC – “At Effingo, every AI workflow is structured to withstand regulatory inquiry because of governance systems engineered by Nikki Mehrpoo,” said Jonathan Norzagaray, CEO & AI Innovator.
