Recently, many people are worried about artificial intelligence. Has this technology arrived to save or destroy us? Unfortunately, regardless of your opinion, I am not able to answer it at this time. However, when it comes to drugs, AI is definitely useful. In a YouTube video posted by ABC News 730, they shared some promising information on how AI is changing the way doctors treat patients.
Speaking about the benefits and challenges of AI, doctors learn to bring this technology into their profession and navigate some of the difficult side effects. The video below categorizes how AI is an incredible scribe, data protector, and Cancer Hunter. It is also a source of dangerous misinformation, like posts about chatbots' false vaccine concerns.
Despite its significant drawbacks, medical research shows that the three benefits of AI in healthcare are substantial.

Artificial intelligence is a great scribe.

When a patient sits with a doctor, an AI scribe called “Heidi” is literally there to hear every word in the exchange. Dr. Grant Blaschki, a general practitioner in Melbourne, Australia, said in a video that he would “record our consultations and enter all my notes for me.” AI shares very accurate and clear notes. It also provides some suggested diagnoses for the problems described by the patient. Blashki said, “Doctors really need to turn their minds and look at it. They're more suggestions than answers. And when a new generation of doctors who live with AI comes, I think they need to understand the benefits and limitations of it.”
In a statement presented in the video, Dr. Thomas Kelly, CEO and co-founder of Heidi, said, “It summarises clinical encounters that reflect the lines of questions and describe them using appropriate clinical terminology.
Patient Data Encryption

Most of us have received emails telling us that the schools and organizations we belong to have been hacked and information stolen. If this hasn't happened yet, it's become more common and so it may be inevitable. When it comes to healthcare facts and information, when AI takes detailed notes, it means that very private and important data to protect will be stored by the doctor.
An AI Scribe software company called Lyrebird Health is also tackling patient confidentiality issues. CEO Kai Van Lieshout shared that patient notes will be automatically deleted after 7 days unless patients choose to extend their savings for six months. Reese said the note was completely gone and irreparable after seven days, saying, “We had a doctor who needed something that we had or wanted… [and] They don't realize it was removed after 7 days and there's nothing we can do. ”
AI investigates the structure of cancer cells

Researchers are beginning to use AI to understand the structure of cancerous tumors. One of the biggest hurdles in cancer treatment is how they are constructed with different behaviors. Breast cancer is very different from liver cancer and also very different from skin cancer. National Medical Library It explains that certain types of cancer, or even some patients, does not work in others.
Christine Chaffer, Associate Professor at Garvan Institute of Medical Research, uses her AI to see these structures. Her goal is to find out how one cancer cell resembles another cancer cell. She explains using AI, “What we do with that information is to come up with ways to eradicate some of the key components of each group of cells.” In this way, although each type of cancer is different, AI can help you understand the structure of cells and learn how to hunt down important elements to eradicate the cancer itself. The goal is that if a person presents with a cancer type, cells can be pursued and destroyed immediately.
Dangerous challenges presented by AI misinformation

This video has sparked concerns about AI chatbots spreading misinformation. It is becoming increasingly difficult to determine whether the details of a post are created by humans or AI. “Bots will respond to posts and create new posts under very strict conditions when a particular individual sees a particular post with a specific keyword or post, making them more automated and automated,” says John Laroll, an assistant professor of that, analysis and administration at the University of Notre Dame.
Unfortunately, it's up to social media companies to identify and remove misleading information, and at this point they really haven't done so. The video shared an example of a Reddit thread entitled “Why the world needs fewer vaccines?”:
- “The US has the highest vaccine rates in developed countries, but also has the highest vaccine injury rates.”
- “I got vaccinated, went to the doctor, and I felt the pain. All I could do was cry on the couch. I was very scared.”
- “What is the deal with the 'multidose' vaccine? Are they just marketing gimmicks? ”
Each of these posts was created by a chatbot, not a real person. Brett Sutton, former Victoria's chief health officer, has genuine concerns about vaccine misinformation online. He believes it has had a real negative effect by saying, “There's been some rise in vaccine hesitancy… Vaccine uptake has dropped by a few percentage points.” Misinformation can create health risks that affect us on a global scale. The outbreak of measles is once again affecting various community pockets across the United States. The main cause is this misinformation that social media shares about the vaccine.
As technology continues to advance, it is that AI hopes to acquire new benefits faster than negative side effects. Hopefully, those leading this cutting-edge science will continue to do everything they can to protect us from the misinformation and other issues this innovative technology brings.
