AI's Role in Healthcare and Legal Challenges

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming integral to healthcare, with applications ranging from diagnostics to patient care management. Despite proven benefits in accuracy and efficiency, resistance remains due to ethical and legal concerns, as highlighted by Jason Matzus, who argues that failure to adopt AI could be considered medical negligence. California's new law, the 'Physicians Make Decisions Act,' underscores the need for human oversight in AI-driven decisions to ensure contextual and compassionate care. Events like ViVE demonstrate the rapid evolution and deployment of AI in healthcare, with major tech companies integrating AI into diagnostic tools. AI's role extends beyond healthcare, impacting fields like education and transport, as explored in various PhD research topics.
