FSU Graduate’s Impact on AI in Health Care
Yvonne Mosley, a 2021 graduate from Fayetteville State University, is making significant strides in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) within the health care sector. An alumna of the university’s online MBA program, Mosley credits her educational experience and mentorship from faculty for developing the analytical skills she now employs to address challenges at the intersection of AI and health care.
Recognized as a leader in her field, Mosley has cultivated a reputation as the “Auntie of AI,” focusing on the implications of AI technology in health care. Her passion for analyzing algorithms and sharing her insights has garnered her a growing digital presence and a following in the technology and medical communities.
Academic Foundations and Career Progression
Reflecting on her time at FSU, Mosley emphasizes how her studies during the COVID-19 pandemic were formative. After graduating with honors, she pursued a doctorate in business administration at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, which she completed in 2025.
As health care organizations seek to responsibly integrate new technologies, Mosley utilizes the analytical skills she honed during her academic journey to explore AI’s role in patient safety. Her contributions to the field have led to her inclusion in Black Impact Magazine’s “26 of 2026 Women of Impact” list, which recognizes her as a strategist in AI and health care.
Personal Motivation and Educational Influences
Mosley’s drive to work in health care stems from a personal tragedy; she lost her sister to a preventable medical condition in 1997. This experience has fueled her commitment to making a difference in the health care system. A veteran of the U.S. Army, Mosley obtained her bachelor’s degree in communications from Florida State University in 1999.
Her former professor, Robert S. McGee, Ph.D., has praised her growth, highlighting her goal-oriented nature. Mosley acknowledges his influence in her academic pursuits, particularly in fostering her research and analytical capabilities. She expresses gratitude for his support, which included a recommendation for her doctoral program.
Professional Ventures and Teaching Roles
Following over a decade in quality and safety, performance improvement, and data analytics within a large hospital system, Mosley joined the North Carolina Healthcare Association in 2021. In this role, she assisted multiple hospitals in enhancing service quality and safety until December 2024 and continues to work with clients on a contractual basis.
AI has become integral to her work, and she emphasizes the importance of understanding the technology to mitigate associated risks.
In addition to her consulting work, Mosley serves as an adjunct professor at Barton College, where she teaches core principles related to innovation and organizational leadership, incorporating technology and AI governance into her curriculum.
Clarifying Misconceptions Around AI
In her advocacy for responsible AI usage, Mosley seeks to dispel common myths about the technology. She asserts that it is essential for people to differentiate between misconceptions and reality as AI increasingly permeates health care and various fields.
One prevalent myth is that AI will replace human workers. In reality, Mosley argues, AI is more likely to transform job roles rather than eliminate them, highlighting that those who adapt to work alongside AI will have a competitive edge.
Another misconception is that AI possesses all-encompassing knowledge. While it can serve as a powerful assistant, AI is not infallible and can produce errors. Human oversight remains crucial, especially in high-stakes environments like health care.
Finally, she addresses the belief that AI is irrelevant to those outside of technology. In fact, AI is becoming increasingly integrated into everyday life across various sectors, making an understanding of its applications an essential skill for all individuals.
