Challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare -- Inovalon

Artificial intelligence has become an intricate part of our everyday lives. We encounter it consciously and subconsciously -- at the grocery store, when we call customer service, and even in our homes and cars. With an increasing reliance on a technology designed to constantly collect our data – one that is programmed to be "smarter" than the human brain – are we leaving ourselves open to significant issues such as data breaches or information misuse in the future? How can we mitigate the potential challenges posed by artificial intelligence in healthcare and other industries? The emergence of artificial intelligence in healthcare has brought about countless opportunities for improved patient care outcomes, machine learning-assisted care, and deep learning technological advancements. Although there is no question that artificial intelligence brings added value to the healthcare industry, we also must pause to evaluate the potential challenges that technology-driven patient care poses to patients, providers and healthcare organizations.
