Are you a black tech-skeptic? Perhaps you've survived a computer crash, or you're pretty sure Siri has grand plans for world domination (we've all had those thoughts, right?). Well, it's time to cast those fears aside and embrace technology like a long-lost cousin at the family reunion. Embracing technology can provide increased economic opportunities, improve access to education, level up our social economic status, close the digital divide, and build a strong, supportive community. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to permeate every aspect of our daily lives, the question of who builds, designs, and influences these technologies is of the utmost importance.

Digital health is one of the emerging areas in the today's technologically advanced world. Penetration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the healthcare sector has many benefits including the discovery of diseases and development of new products. The data handling and analyzing the capacity of AI is at par as compared to humans. So, the effective utilization of AI would help in saving time and lives of patients. Moreover, it has benefits for the firms manufacturing new products and drugs in the healthcare domain.

Understandably, some commentators take a cautious view when it comes to AI development, sometimes painting a grim, dystopian future where large swathes of the population are rendered jobless, access to AI is not evenly distributed among citizens and privacy and civil liberties are increasingly under threat from AI's insatiable need for data. There is no denying that AI will present a new set of societal challenges that will need to be navigated thoughtfully and carefully and, in particular, it will be critical for all organizations to build trust in AI among their customers and stakeholders. However, these concerns should not overshadow the enormous potential that AI offers society.
