Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used in every aspect of life today. It has found great application in the healthcare sector, with the use of this technology by medical schools all over the globe. AI has found multiple applications in medical fields such as diagnostics, medicine, surgery, oncology, radiology, ophthalmology, medical education, and numerous other medical fields. It has assisted in diagnosing conditions in a much quicker and more efficient manner, and the use of AI chatbots has greatly enhanced the learning process. Despite the benefits that AI applications provide, such as saving precious time for healthcare givers, there are also concerns regarding AI, mainly, ethical, and the fact that they might render the human race unemployed. However, despite these concerns, a lot of innovations are being made using AI applications, which show a very bright prospect for this technology. Although humans use AI in every part of their daily lives, they are also opposed to its use because they believe it could eventually replace them in the future. In this review of literature, a detailed analysis of the use of AI in the healthcare industry and medical education will be done, along with its shortcomings as well as its future prospects.
