Artificial intelligence in healthcare: What to consider

Abstract

Computers have become an everyday part of our lives. One field on the forefront of computer science research is artificial intelligence. Although some people may have fears of artificial intelligence, the technology can be beneficial. It has the ability to enhance or replace human capabilities in many areas. Artificial intelligence, by definition, is any machine processing simulation of human intelligence. As research begins to produce more accessible and powerful technology that utilizes artificial intelligence, careful deliberations must be given to its implementations. Specifically in the field of healthcare, artificial intelligence has the ability to revolutionize the field. But what considerations must be given before turning over our healthcare decisions to artificial intelligence? The purpose of this research is to evaluate the current studies on artificial intelligence in healthcare and explore the ethical dilemmas surrounding its applications.
