Benefits and Drawbacks

AI is helping to improve accuracy in medical diagnosis by examining patient data, generate automated medical reports to save doctors time, and provide individualized treatment plans. However, AI may lack human empathy, be susceptible to inaccuracies with limited data, and security risks, so continued human oversight is still needed in many medical applications of AI. AI can help with administrative tasks but not completely replace doctors in providing emotional support and detecting important behavioral insights.

-After researching, suggest ways AI will help or will be a drawback in Medicine reports
or in the relationship between doctors and patients.

With the help of new AI technologies, the traditional medical environment has undergone
significant change in the field of medicine. Patient diagnosis using radiological, pathological,
endoscopic, ultrasonographic, and biochemical examinations has been successfully promoted with
a higher degree of accuracy and a lower human error rate. The traditional medical environment
has undergone significant change in the medical field with the aid of new AI technologies, and
patient diagnosis using radiological, pathological, endoscopic, ultrasonographic, and biochemical
examinations has been effectively promoted with a higher degree of accuracy and reduced human
workload. With superior surgical results, the medical care provided throughout the perioperative
phase, which includes preoperative planning, the surgical period, and the postoperative recovery
period, was greatly improved. Additionally, AI technology has been instrumental in reshaping the
fields of medical administration, medical education, and drug development.

Some examples of ways in which AI can benefit modern medicine are:

 Automated medical report generation: AI is able to swiftly and accurately produce


accurate data, generating comprehensive and exact medical reports. This way, healthcare
personnel can concentrate on patient care because of the time saved.
 Enhanced Accuracy and Diagnosis: To assist clinicians in making more accurate diagnoses,
AI algorithms can examine medical imaging, test reports, and patient information.
 Plans for individualized Treatment: AI can process enormous datasets and offer insights
into individualized treatment alternatives based on a patient's particular traits.
 Human errors are reduced to a minimum: machines are able to detect certain faults that
cannot be seen with the naked eye.
 Helps doctors with the basic tasks: AI can automate mundane administrative chores like
appointment scheduling, paperwork, and documentation. This frees up crucial time for
doctors, allowing them to give their patients greater attention and focus during
appointments. With AI taking care of administrative tasks, clinicians can have more
meaningful interactions, actively listen to patient problems, and form stronger bonds.

The drawbacks in AI are also important to address in the medical field, for example:

 Empathy and emotional support: Artificial intelligence (AI) can help with emotional
support in healthcare settings, but it cannot completely replace human empathy. In order
to better serve patients' emotional needs, AI-powered solutions can employ sentiment
analysis to detect emotional clues in written or spoken communications from patients.
 Inaccuracies are still possible: Medical AI is primarily reliant on diagnosis data from
millions of cataloged instances. Misdiagnosis is entirely feasible when there is limited data
on specific illnesses, demographics, or environmental factors. This becomes especially
crucial when giving specific medications.
 AI systems are susceptible to security risks: Because AI is largely reliant on data
networks, AI systems are vulnerable to security threats. With the advent of Offensive AI,
enhanced cyber security will be essential to ensure the technology's long-term viability.
 Human surveillance is required: Although artificial intelligence has advanced significantly
in the medical field, human supervision is still required. Surgery robots, for example, work
logically rather than empathetically. Health professionals may detect critical behavioral
insights that might aid in the diagnosis or prevention of medical issues.
