AI and healthcare: future opportunities and challenges

My father was an accountant, and in 1965, he decided to explore the emerging field of information technology (IT). He joined an IBM training program and went to work selling their System 360 mainframe computers. That year's model would set you back $2-3 million, for which you got a room full of refrigerator-sized cabinets supporting a central processor with about a megabyte of memory. These machines were used by businesses to automate accounting, and for billing and tracking inventory. Looking back these tasks now seem simple, straightforward, even trivial, but at the time these capabilities were revolutionary, automating tasks that took people enormous amounts of time and effort. What does this reflection have to do with applying artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to healthcare?
