Abridge, an AI-focused healthcare startup valued at $850 million, has appointed former Google AI policy lead Tim Hwang as its first general counsel. The announcement follows Abridge’s recent Series C funding round, in which it raised $150 million. Hwang, who will be responsible for leading a legal team of three, overseeing legal strategy, and managing public policy and trust and safety initiatives, brings extensive experience from roles in legal and safety positions at Inflection AI and Substack.
Hwang’s tenure at Inflection AI is noteworthy, given the company’s ongoing scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission over its partnership with Microsoft, as detailed here. His experience in large language models and regulatory challenges will be pivotal for Abridge as it navigates complex legal landscapes in the healthcare and AI sectors.
