Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Diagnostics: Accuracy, Ethics, and Future Scope
Main Article Content
Abstract
More precise, efficient, and scalable analysis of medical data has been made possible by artificial intelligence (AI), which has swiftly revolutionized healthcare diagnostics. There has been a recent uptick in the use of deep learning and advanced machine learning algorithms for medical imaging, illness prediction, and clinical decision support, with results that are on par with or better than those of human specialists in these fields. These innovations may lead to better early detection, fewer wrong diagnoses, and better health outcomes for patients. AI's function in medical diagnosis, with an emphasis on precision, morality, and potential for growth. It delves at the ways in which models powered by AI help enhance diagnostic accuracy and decision-making speed, with a focus on radiology, pathology, and genomics. Concurrently, the study draws attention to problems with data quality, generalizability of models, and dependability in actual clinical contexts. When using AI in healthcare, it is important to keep ethical issues in mind. Important questions about patient trust and safety arise from issues including data privacy, algorithmic bias, openness, and responsibility. AI, frameworks for regulation, and responsible data governance to guarantee implementation in an ethical manner.
