Abstract:Artificial intelligence (A.I.) technologies are proving to be an essential discussion regarding their use in healthcare A.I. has become of increasing importance due to the multiple uses it has. Techniques such as machine learning have become of prime importance, but it is only one of several vital to enhance the quality of the doctor-patient relationship. However, despite the efficiencies A.I. provides to doctors, patients, and researchers, the discussion around it still points to a limitation which would mean that A.I. would not supersede human involvement in healthcare anytime soon. This paper traces the discussion on A.I. in healthcare by giving information about A.I. and the forms of it which are used in healthcare and the role each has to play. Through data, the potential
and improvements brought about by A.I. in healthcare are highlighted, followed by the shortcomings and limitations which prove that in spite of the many enhancements provided by A.I., there are still shortcomings that prevent it from being fully embedded into the healthcare sector.
