Transformative Impacts of Artificial Intelligence on Healthcare

Abstract

It is a true revolution in medicine with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and healthcare. Many scholars define AI as "an extremely powerful and disrupting area of computer science with the possibility of radically changing the practice of medicine and the delivery of healthcare." Only a few years ago, AI was nothing but conceptual ideas. Today, AI is evolving rapidly, from theoretical concepts to practical applications which include diagnostics, treatment, and administration of healthcare in clinics and hospitals. With AI-based systems beginning to diagnose patients at faster rates and provide precision diagnosis, and begin to develop personalized treatments based on the needs of each patient, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella believes AI may be "the most transformational technology of our time," and that "healthcare is perhaps AI's most urgent application." These changes signify a radical change in patient care: from data driven predictive models and clinical decision support, to automated image analysis and remote patient monitoring. In developing this collection of papers, we acknowledge that AI's effects are no longer speculative, but are currently occurring in laboratories, clinics, and health systems around the world.
