The rise of artificial intelligence has the potential to spark industry-wide change across sectors.
A new white paper from the Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council (HSCC) evaluates how health care could evolve with our move from a “paper-and-pen world to a digital environment.” The HSCC report notes that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) could lead to significant advances, but there are important security, regulatory, and ethical concerns to consider.
“AI/ML could impact every aspect of healthcare, from diagnosis, treatment decisions, predictive analysis, and even administrative functions such as coding and billing,” the report notes. “The promise of AI/ML, however, comes at a price.”
Among the key takeaways:
The white paper is available to review online.
