The role of artificial intelligence in transforming medical diagnostics and treatment

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into healthcare is reshaping the future of medicine by introducing faster, more precise, and scalable solutions across clinical and administrative domains. AI-powered tools now assist in diagnosing diseases from complex imaging data, predicting patient outcomes, optimizing treatment decisions, and managing health systems more efficiently. This paper examines the current applications of AI in medical practice, with a focus on its transformative impact on diagnostics, personalized medicine, and clinical workflows. It also addresses ongoing challenges such as algorithmic transparency, ethical concerns, data protection, and the risk of over-reliance on automated systems. As healthcare continues its digital transformation, a balanced approach that combines human expertise with intelligent systems is essential to ensure equitable, safe, and effective care delivery.
