AI's Impact On Healthcare

Healthcare is one of the major success stories of our times, but it is also in crisis. Healthcare providers face rising demand, increasing delivery costs and workforce shortages, as well as the need to adapt to new ways of working that maximize on innovative technology to deliver better quality care. While most healthcare practitioners are unlikely to be displaced by AI, their professional lives will be augmented, supported and in some cases, challenged, by the introduction of AI. AI is not a panacea for healthcare systems – it comes with strings attached. Healthcare decision-makers, healthcare providers and healthcare practitioners must work together to resolve ethical and practical concerns around AI in healthcare and ensure populations reap the full benefits of AI.
