About Sarah Montgomery-Taylor

I am a Clinical Lead and Strategist operating at the intersection of Health and Generative AI.Currently at Google, I lead the clinical evaluation strategy for large language models (LLMs) in health. My core focus is solving the \"Safety vs. Velocity\" paradox: how do we deploy powerful AI tools into healthcare without compromising clinical rigor?What I do:GenAI Governance: I define the \"Constitution\" for health AI—establishing what \"safe\" looks like for foundation models before they reach an end user.Scaled Operations: I built and now direct a global workforce of clinical experts who validate AI performance, creating the \"human-in-the-loop\" infrastructure required for high-stakes deployment.0-to-1 Methodology: I specialize in developing novel evaluation frameworks for subjective and nuanced medical domains (e.g, Nutrition, Mental Health) where standard benchmarks fail.Trained at Oxford University with a background in Paediatrics (MRCPCH). I bridge the gap between clinical reality and engineering ambition, supported by executive leadership training at Harvard Business School.
