3rd International Conference on
Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare and Industry

The Future of AI in Healthcare
While AI is already being used across the healthcare industry, its use is still in an early, specialized stage. According to researchers, current AI systems are considered narrow AI (NAI) — tools designed to perform specific tasks, such as processing numerical data or analyzing images, rather than exhibiting broad, human-like intelligence. Researchers are exploring the potential of artificial general intelligence (AGI), which could eventually expand AI capabilities in the healthcare industry, though this remains largely theoretical. In the near term, AI is already being used to improve the efficiency and accuracy of healthcare operations. Hospitals and medical facilities are using the technology to manage administrative tasks, answer calls, interpret radiology images, assist in diagnoses and much more. These applications can reduce human error, speed up routine processes and free up human clinicians to focus on the more complex aspects of patient care.
