THE POTENTIAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MEDICINE

Abstract

This article analyzes the prospects for using artificial intelligence (AI) in the medical field. It highlights that AI has already become an integral part of modern life and is actively utilized in various countries, particularly in diagnosis, treatment, and disease prognosis. AI enhances diagnostic accuracy, accelerates treatment processes, and optimizes medical resources significantly. Internationally, AI-based solutions are already widely implemented in countries like the USA, Japan, and China to improve healthcare services. These technologies allow doctors to process large amounts of data efficiently and perform complex procedures with reduced time and effort. However, in Ukraine, the development of AI technologies remains in its early stages, despite the approval of the “Concept for the Development of Artificial Intelligence” in 2020. The main challenges include the need to improve the legal framework, ensure data protection, and address ethical concerns. The use of AI can significantly enhance the quality of medical services while saving time and resources in healthcare institutions. In medical practice, AI is applied in several areas. For instance, AI accelerates diagnosis and improves accuracy, such as in the continuous monitoring of bone tissue in periodontal diseases; AI can analyze medical images with high speed and precision, identifying anomalies and leading to more accurate and timely diagnoses at early stages; AI algorithms can predict the deterioration of a patient’s condition by analyzing their medical data.
