Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is anticipated to play a major role in redefining some of the most fundamental systems and processes through which hospital and healthcare services are delivered. Significant impact is anticipated across many areas, from the way healthcare data is processed in the diagnoses of diseases, to the development of treatments and disease prevention via increasingly accurate screening, through the integration of AI. As AI begins to impact almost every aspect of healthcare delivery and governance, it is crucial for health leaders to understand the state of AI technologies, the associated risks and the ways that such technologies can be used to improve the efficiency, safety, and access of health services.
