Abstract

Recently there have been many global discussions about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) will change every aspects of human society.  Some of them picture a dark imagery of the future and some picture a euphoric one.  Most people seem to think it can have a devastating impact if a singularity or self-awareness is achieved.  Regardless of the outcome, the current trajectory and development in automation, robotics and AI will have a profound impact on everything especially things that are repetitive, physical and labor intensive.  It doesn’t stop at the physical world. It can also impact the professional and creative world. Healthcare is one of those industries that will go through tremendous changes and disruptions. Information technology has already changed so much in how the industry functions. This talk will focus on what AI is doing in healthcare and how it will change the future workforce in healthcare.
