IEEE conference talk: AI in Healthcare

The rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare presents both extraordinary opportunities and significant challenges that demand careful consideration. While healthcare organizations are eagerly embracing AI to enhance care delivery, it's crucial to examine whether these implementations truly align with patient safety and healthcare quality standards. I’ll talk about the dual nature of AI in healthcare - from its high-impact applications to the critical zones requiring vigilant oversight and careful examination. Key focus areas include identifying where AI can genuinely improve healthcare outcomes, while addressing crucial concerns about data privacy, algorithmic bias, and ethical considerations in clinical settings.
