Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by improving disease detection and diagnosis, enhancing healthcare systems, and benefiting health care providers, but it also presents challenges that must be addressed, such as developing robust and reliable AI models and ensuring ethical and responsible use.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to greatly improve health care globally by expanding access to health services, according to Google's chief health officer, Karen DeSalvo. Through initiatives such as using AI to monitor search queries for potential self-harm, as well as developing low-cost ultrasound devices and automated screening for tuberculosis, AI can address health-care access gaps and improve patient outcomes.
Matt Henningsen, a former NFL player, has contributed to the development of a machine-learning network that can assist neurosurgeons in mitigating the impact of cerebral hemorrhaging, offering a potential solution to locate and remove blood quickly with reduced risk of brain injury.
Google Health's chief clinical officer, Michael Howell, discusses the advances in artificial intelligence (AI) that are transforming the field of medicine, emphasizing that AI should be seen as an assistive tool for healthcare professionals rather than a replacement for doctors. He highlights the significant improvements in AI models' ability to answer medical questions and provide patient care suggestions, but also acknowledges the challenges of avoiding AI gaslighting and hallucinations and protecting patient privacy and safety.
