How Artificial Intelligence Affects Healthcare

The World Health Organization (WHO) called for caution today, Tuesday, regarding the use of artificial intelligence applications in public health consultations, stating that the data used by AI to make decisions may be biased or misused. It expressed enthusiasm for the potential of AI but raised concerns about how it can be used to improve access to health information as a decision-support tool and enhance diagnostic care. The UN agency stated that it is "essential" to assess the risks of using large language model tools, such as ChatGPT, to protect and enhance human care and maintain public health. This warning from the organization comes at a time when the demand for AI applications is increasing, highlighting a technology that may change the way businesses and society operate.
