| Artificial intelligence for health care: use and concerns
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is demonstrating impressively quick evolution in terms of producing tools that can capably process multiple types of information and communicate naturally with humans. This advance is likely to continue, potentially accelerate, given the ongoing software and hardware development. In response to the rapidly increasing number of AI tools for health care, this presentation will 1) describe the context of the AI development; 2) describe the types of AI approaches; 3) provide a framework to consider types of tasks AI tools can address (i.e., early risk identification, diagnosis, treatment, and administrative); and 4) highlight key ethical and regulatory concerns. |
