Understanding Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses technologies that enable computers to perform tasks traditionally requiring human intelligence, such as diagnosing conditions or analyzing patient data. Within this context, machine learning allows computers to learn from data to improve their performance, while large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT can generate human-like text by processing vast amounts of information. The evolution of these technologies is transforming clinical practices, as they can assist in research, support patient interactions, and streamline healthcare documentation. However, there is an emphasis on the need for responsible integration to mitigate risks and understand their limitations.
