Artificial intelligence, also known as AI, is subtly making its way into our daily lives. It has become increasingly difficult to discuss technology without mentioning AI. AI manifests itself in different ways and is starting to have an impact on our everyday activities. Whether it's logging into social media, conducting web searches, using digital personal assistants, shopping online, seeing advertisements, or utilizing ride-sharing services, AI algorithms are being used to enhance the user experience.

What is AI?

AI, or Artificial Intelligence, was first envisioned in the 1950s with the aim of allowing machines or computers to mimic human thinking and learning processes. Companies such as Facebook (for instance, in facial recognition) and Google (for example, in search recommendations and route optimization) heavily rely on AI technology. Nevertheless, the healthcare sector has only begun to scratch the surface of the immense potential and possibilities offered by AI. The contemporary healthcare system is presently encountering significant obstacles intensified by the pandemic, an increase in lifestyle-related illnesses, and a growing global population. The positive development is that the utilization of artificial intelligence to develop intelligent procedures and workflows has the potential to render healthcare more affordable, efficient, personalized, and fair.
