Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI), an area with growing interest and often harped as the solution for many issues, has made significant inroads into national healthcare systems over the past decade. AI holds power to positively impact healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes. However, there are growing concerns around the notion that focusing on AI to completely transform healthcare delivery for better access and efficient services holds very real risks. Recent research and evidence have shown that AI could inadvertently exacerbate existing health inequalities if not developed and deployed responsibly within appropriate areas and under proper regulations.
