Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare delivery by improving patient care, treatment planning, and diagnostics. AI applications in healthcare such as robotic surgery, virtual health assistants, predictive analytics, and medical imaging analysis. Machine learning (ML) algorithms aid in the early diagnosis of disease, such as AI-powered technologies can accurately detect cancer in radiology images (1). Natural language processing (NLP) helps in extracting insights from electronic health records (EHRs), improving clinical decision-making (2).

AI-driven predictive models help identify patients who are at risk hence require early interventions, as seen in sepsis where prediction of possible onset of sepsis with the help of AI reduces mortality rates (3). AI advances precision medicine by customizing treatments based on genetic data (4).

Application of AI-based drug discovery, where machine learning algorithms speed up the identification of novel compounds and drastically lower research and development (R&D) expenses (5). One of the most prominent applications of robotics in healthcare is robotic-assisted surgery. AI algorithms enhances surgeon’s capabilities by providing real-time data analysis, decision support, and precision control of robotic instruments (6).

in medicine has challenges, such as ethical issues, privacy threats with data, and algorithmic biases that can result in differences in treatment outcomes (7). AI also lacks human intuition and empathy, which are key to patient care, and the question is whether AI can substitute healthcare professionals or complement them (8). As AI takes over routine tasks, human intervention is still crucial for complicated decision-making and ethical decision-making in medicine (2). Further research and regulatory frameworks are essential to the ethical and effective application of AI.

Mitigating algorithm bias of Artificial intelligence in Healthcare

Algorithms play an integral role in healthcare ranging from diagnostics, treatment and overall population health management. Biased AI algorithm may lead to inadequate delivery of care. Addressing the bias is important for optimal health outcomes. The assessments are required in context of use eg. the data leveraged during the development would be different than the point of application. There is a need of regular monitoring to avoid drift when algorithm performance reduces over time and there are chances of new bias. For a well-resourced facilities, development of processes to assess and monitor AI algorithmic bias may be feasible but not for under resourced facilities which may lead to poor adoption.

The mitigation is only possible when all key partners together take action to address the bias be it the facility, developers or regulatory bodies. In following ways, Algorithm bias can be addressed by

1. Developers should support bias assessment and monitoring with transparency

2. Establishment of standards and guidelines for assessing and monitoring 

3. Low cost tools for testing AI algorithm

Although medical experts are highly optimistic about incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, limited research has focused on understanding patient viewpoints on these technologies. Because patients are the primary recipients of many AI-driven innovations, it is essential to thoroughly understand their needs, values, and priorities. This approach ensures that these advancements are accepted, ethically developed, and applied to enhance patient care.

Qualitative Research conducted to analyze patient apprehension about using artificial intelligence in healthcare found that although they are largely optimistic about AI's potential to improve their care, they also have concerns regarding the safety and regulation of healthcare AI. They also highlighted that a high level of cautiousness is required while developing and implementing AI tools, and it should be well-tested and accurate.

Further, clinicians were expected to ensure AI safety by retaining final discretion over treatment plans and maintaining responsibility for patient care. They should also have the right to choose the AI tool used in their care and the freedom to opt out if they feel it is unsafe.  

Concerns were raised about insurance coverage for treatments, as the AI algorithm might recommend unaffordable treatments. Patients also felt that the electronic health record was not reliable enough for teaching healthcare AI because they found errors in their records. In addition, mass technology failure or system-level crashes and their impacts were also mentioned.

In conclusion, innovative approaches are needed to alleviate patient concerns about healthcare AI. These approaches should integrate trust-building at the system level, forward-thinking technological advancements, and an awareness of the broader social dynamics involved.

AI has shown promise in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, improving surgical outcomes, and optimizing healthcare delivery For instance, AI algorithms can analyze medical data significantly faster than traditional methods, leading to better early interventions and reduced complications in surgeries AI's ability to process vast amounts of data allows it to outperform human capabilities in specific tasks, such as detecting skin cancer and predicting patient outcomes. 
Despite its advantages, the paper identifies several ethical issues associated with AI in healthcare, including algorithmic bias, lack of transparency, data privacy concerns, and the potential deskilling of healthcare professionals. Several authors emphasize that the "black box" nature of many AI algorithms raises questions about their interpretability and the validity of their predictions. Furthermore, the reliance on biased data can exacerbate existing health disparities, leading to unfair treatment decisions. The need for extensive patient data to train AI models conflicts with the necessity to protect patient privacy. While synthetic data generation techniques can help mitigate privacy risks, the utility of such data remains debatable. Additionally, the integration of AI in clinical settings raises concerns about cybersecurity and the potential for data breaches. 
 
Many research papers called for updated regulations and legal frameworks to address the unique challenges posed by AI in medicine. Existing laws may not adequately cover scenarios where AI systems make autonomous decisions, necessitating the development of new guidelines that ensure accountability and ethical use of AI technologies. There should be transparency in AI operations, ongoing education for healthcare professionals, and the establishment of clear liability standards for AI-related errors. The interrogation of AI should enhance, rather than replace, the human elements of medical practice, ensuring that ethical standards are upheld.

In order for AI systems to be used in healthcare applications, they must first be "trained" using data from clinical procedures like screening, diagnosis, treatment assignment, and so forth. This will allow the systems to learn about similar subject groups and correlations between subject characteristics and relevant outcomes. Demographics, medical notes, electronic recordings from medical equipment, physical examinations, clinical laboratory results, and pictures are just a few examples of the kinds of clinical data that are frequently available (Jiang et al., 2017).
Even though there is a growing body of research on AI in healthcare, it mostly focuses on three illness types: cancer, diseases of the nervous system, and cardiovascular diseases.

The ML (Machine Learning) component for managing structured data (such as pictures, EP data, and genetic information) and the NLP (Natural Language Processing) component for mining unstructured texts are essential for a successful AI system. Then, the advanced algorithms must be educated using medical data before the system can help doctors diagnose illnesses and recommend treatments.
In this area, the IBM Watson system is a pioneer. Both ML and NLP modules are part of the system, which has shown encouraging results in oncology. For instance, in a cancer study, 99 percent of Watson's therapy suggestions align with the choices made by the doctors. Additionally, Watson developed the AI Genetic Diagnostic Analysis in partnership with Quest Diagnostics. The technology also began to influence real-world clinical procedures (Jiang et al., 2017).
