ABSTRACT
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has grown rapidly in terms of hardware implementation, software algorithms, and
applications across a wide range of industries. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a game- changing technology in the
healthcare sector, revolutionizing several facets of the sector. Diagnostics, treatment planning, drug discovery, electronic
health record (EHR) analysis, and patient monitoring are just a few of the many applications of AI in healthcare. AI systems
can analyse enormous volumes of healthcare data, including genomic sequences, clinical notes, and medical images, using
machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks to derive relevant insights and make predictions. Artificial
intelligence (AI) aims to mimic human cognitive functions. It is bringing a paradigm shift to healthcare, powered by
increasing availability of healthcare data and rapid progress of analytics techniques [2]. AI in healthcare has an extensive
number of advantages. It can increase the accuracy of diagnoses, hasten the discovery of diseases, and enable individualized
treatment regimens. AIdriven algorithms can help clinicians make wise choices by presenting evidence-based suggestions
and highlighting potential dangers. Additionally, AI technologies can boost organizational efficiency, improve resource
allocation, and simplify administrative processes, resulting in cost savings and improved outcomes for patients.

patient care by improving outcomes, reducing costs, and
enhancing efficiency. However, ethicaland regulatory
concerns must be addressed to ensure the safe and effective
use of AI in healthcare. By developing a robust regulatory
framework and addressing ethical concerns, we can harness
the power of AI to improve patient care and advance medical
research while ensuring that the technology is used in a
responsible and equitable manner.
