Description

Margaret Chustecki reviews the benefits and risks of artificial intelligence in health care, in a 2024 paper. AI promises sharper diagnoses, personal treatment plans, and better use of scarce resources. It also brings bias, opacity, privacy, and safety worries.

Eight databases were searched, yielding 8,796 articles before screening. Forty four studies passed the filters for close reading. The benefits were real but so were the hazards. Algorithms can inherit unfair bias from their training data. Their decisions can be hard to explain to patients or doctors. Patient data can leak, and errors can harm at scale. The review calls for guardrails that match the promise.
