The 10th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Data Mining (FSDM 2024)

Abstract: Artificial intelligence has significantly influenced the health sector for years by delivering novel assistive technologies from robotic surgery and hospital management systems to versatile biosensors that enable remote diagnosis and efficient treatment. While the COVID-19 pandemic is devastating, the uses of AI in the healthcare sector are dramatically increasing and it is a critical time to look at its impact and possible limitations in different aspects. In this talk, I will introduce the concept of artificial intelligence (AI) and its uses. Then, I discuss the current public opinion on AI and its hype. I also present the regulation of AI in the community, followed by the discussion on challenges in the field. Finally, I predict the future work in AI using a few examples.
Keywords: Artificial intelligence; health care; hype; regulation; challenges.
