Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the next step of the industrial revolution. It aims to automate human or manual decision making. AI has started to disrupt nearly every industry, including healthcare. However, we have just started to scratch the surface as there are many more AI opportunities for healthcare that will allow to improve patient care while cutting waiting times and costs. In this chapter, we provide an introduction to AI and its applications in healthcare. We then examine possible future opportunities of how AI could skyrocket healthcare. Next, we look at the challenges in and around AI research, the impact of AI on our society, fears, education and the need for data literacy for everyone, including physicians and patients. We also discuss how these challenges could be solved. This chapter also serves as a foundation for other book chapters that present further AI applications in healthcare.
