Artificial intelligence may seem like a new, untested technology, but the reality is that AI is already integrated into our everyday lives. For instance, Siri, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant use natural language processing and natural language understanding to analyze and respond to voice commands. Emails and text messages use NLP for predictive text and auto correct.
The rapid development of AI brings with it enormous concerns, especially regarding its applications in healthcare. However, AI is already transforming patient care in positive ways, for example, by making it easier for clinicians to diagnose and treat illness sooner, potentially reducing the need for costly specialized treatment or hospitalization.
