Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology with the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery, from diagnosis and treatment to patient care and administrative tasks. the applications, challenges, and ethical considerations surrounding the role of AI in healthcare. It discusses how AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of medical data to assist healthcare professionals in making accurate diagnoses, predicting patient outcomes, and personalizing treatment plans. Additionally, it examines the challenges associated with implementing AI in healthcare, such as data privacy concerns, algorithm bias, and regulatory hurdles. Furthermore, it addresses ethical considerations, including transparency, accountability, and the impact of AI on patient-provider relationships. Despite these challenges, AI holds tremendous promise for improving healthcare efficiency, accessibility, and quality, provided that stakeholders address these concerns and harness AI's potential responsibly.
