Artificial intelligence (AI) is a scientific field which involves creating advanced machines/ computers to learn, reason, and act in a such way which requires human intelligence. It is a system’s ability to achieve specific goal or task by interpreting external data in correct sense with flexible adaption. It can perform various simple to complex and repetitive to cognitive tasks using complex computer algorithms emulating human cognition. It has many applications in healthcare sector and biomedical research. The AI-based tools and techniques are expected to improve healthcare delivery system leading to improvement in affordable and accessible quality healthcare to needy. But, the integration of AI in these fields has raised many ethical concerns. Hence, AI technology development and its application should be governed by an ethically sound policy framework. |
