AI in the Healthcare Sector – Blessing or Cause of Danger?

[SPIDERMAN008]

In the healthcare sector even small decisions can cause huge losses due to mistakes. And in usually AI is used in all tasks to find information, which can find specific information in a very short time, it is also possible to do such work in the healthcare sector, which will save time.

But depending on AI for treatment is very risky. There is a threat of death. AI can diagnose a patient as a different disease according to his symptoms and prescribe medicine. According to the past medical reports of many patients, even common medicines can cause harm to them. AI will never know these things, it will only prescribe medicine according to your command, which is much more risky.

We should not completely depend on AI for very sensitive matters like treatment. Even sometimes we try to solve our minor physical problems through AI. AI may suggest us some normal medicine. But as conscious people, we should understand that no physical problem should be think as minor . A common disease can cause major physical damage. So we should not involve AI in everything.

While AI has been seen being more practiced in critical healthcare workflows, but know the fact that this AI isn't doing the main job, they are just there as helping tools, while those physicians and nurses are still making the major operations. So there is no danger there. The only thing that everything will be put in danger if this AI and human partnership will not fit or both are incompetent and ineffective. But I don't think this is the case, AI is there to help, not as a burden to these medical practitioners.

I've seen a lot of physician using AI to analyse symptom of their patient secretly, I'm not against it and in fact I like it this way because the physician can get second opinion to analyse the symptom and not being overly confident which mean lesser chance for wrong diagnosis. AI really excels to increase efficiency when used by professional and I hope it stays that way. Healthcare workflow should always be about competent physician diagnosing the patient and not relying 100% on AI.

Hopefully it can also reduce cost and give wider access to better healthcare around the world. Just like how software engineer can increase output by using AI, a physician can diagnose accurately more patient in a day with the help of AI.

And that's the point. Completely relying on Ai can be disastrous. It should just be a toil used to ascertain, check and improve productivity and accuracy and not the workman itself doing the whole work. Just like the invent of robotics, that helped to do work but are still controlled by humans. Just like it, many times robots failed in there activities, sometimes doing it wrongly or not as planned, and faces regulations by humans. The same way I think AI can also be used but should be used as just a help tool to foster more reliability and good output in healthcare services.

Normally, are you seeing the use of AI in the healthcare sector in a good way or in a bad way?

AI is technological advancement so it's supposed to improve the healthcare sector and be a blessing as then we can give better healthcare to patients and that's what I believe it's doing. Information can be easily access giving doctors and nurses more resources to render immediate care to cases they aren't familiar with, medications can be easily researched on and other valuable information can be pulled up in matters of seconds to save a life. In the area of surgery, AI assistances can come in handle as the operation can be done smoothly with the use of AI advanced robots to carry out the surgery without any complications. We can also have Ai powered robots to give you letter healthcare or montour your vitals just to avoid any issues etc. No way AI is going to be a curse to the health-care sector.

I see this as a good opportunity to improve healthcare systems. I don't think it should be dangerous if it is tested properly and done with the right regulations and testing in place.

The one thing i think would be a problem is if the data is used incorrectly and used in evil ways to hurt someone.

For sure, it would be a thing that we are going to venture out as a human race, but i think we could really make things easier with the help of AI.

Data corruption is another thing to look out for,  if an AI/Robot is meant to work peacefully on the human body and someone or some bad actors intentionally infect such AI, it can get out of hands pretty fast.

I believe that AI should be limited or maybe restricted, especially when implemented in a robot body, we are playing with fire even if it's been tested several times, let's forget that side and start to think about what could happen if back actors hunt for these robots.

And they are already talking about making AI to be the most intelligent, how is that not risky for humans? If AI can think and reason for itself they will start having their own goals too.

Technology becomes more useful to humanity the moment we really understand its limits. While it’s very true that AI can be very valuable when it comes to making healthcare a lot more faster and even give professionals access to information that they might not have had immediately. But does that mean people should just follow every recommendation from AI models without human judgement? Definitely not. When it comes to issues that concerns human healthcare, even the slightest mistakes could result to serious consequences. So in conclusion, keeping qualified professionals around is just as important as the technology itself.

Technology is moving towards improvement, different types of work can be used in the healthcare with AI. Currently, we can see that different types of activities are going on to use AI in different types of critical work.

AI is doing good helpful work in small small things in the healthcare sector but bringing AI towards critical works seems to be taking a dangerous form.

Normally, are you seeing the use of AI in the healthcare sector in a good way or in a bad way?

I can give a vivid example of how artificial intelligence helped me cure a disease I had literally a month ago, and this isn’t made up — it’s a completely real case. So, I started experiencing constant headaches and neck pain, and when I went to see a neurologist, she prescribed medications that didn’t quite fit the treatment for this condition. With the help of AI, I was able to figure out roughly what the problem was. Together with the AI, we came up with two possible explanations: it could be muscles or blood vessels. And after certain studies, I ultimately understood the essence of his condition almost completely with the help of AI, while the neurologist hadn’t figured it out yet. And just imagine, during the next consultation, I told her myself what tests I should undergo, and she confirmed them. In other words, the AI helped me understand my condition faster than a professional doctor could.
