Preparing for the Future of AI in Healthcare
Understanding how to prepare for a future shaped by artificial intelligence (AI) is essential, especially in healthcare. AI is fundamentally about machines mimicking human behavior, and it can significantly impact various aspects of patient care. Embracing AI as a general-purpose technology, akin to electricity or fire, will help individuals and healthcare professionals adapt to its integration into everyday life. Instead of fearing the changes AI brings, fostering a relationship with the technology will enable better health outcomes and improved decision-making in medical practice.
