Uses of Artificial Intelligence in Health

The use of artificial intelligence in health is growing rapidly. In this paper, a number of case studies were reviewed to elicit the sensitivity of health impact to parameters of AI design and application context. At a high level, the speed at which breakthroughs are happening is highly encouraging. Whereas application to core science or health preservation is working well, however, things are much more challenging at the intersection with healthcare itself. In particular lack of game alignment, lack of regulation and cognitive dissonance between the intuition of the AI architect and that of the healthcare practitioner would benefit from much more attention and cross-fertilisation. Whilst not quantified here, there were early signals that impact will be highest where such exchange of intuition has been explored and engineered into the system.
