Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the main branch of computer science that permits advanced machines to interpret and analyze complex healthcare data elaborating the recent challenges in the medical field of study. The current state of AI applications in healthcare is examined in this systematic literature review, with an emphasis on the technology's accomplishments, difficulties, and potential. The wide breadth of AI technologies used in healthcare settings, such as robots, computer vision, machine learning, and natural language processing, is highlighted in this review through an extensive analysis of peer-reviewed publications. It talks about how customized medicine, predictive analytics, illness detection, and treatment planning are just a few of the areas of healthcare delivery that AI-driven technologies are transforming. According to research by investment bank Goldman Sachs, 300 million full-time employees could be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI). In the US and Europe, it might replace 25% of labor duties, but it might also lead to an increase in productivity and the creation of new jobs. Additionally, it might eventually result in a 7% rise in the global annual value of products and services produced. Additionally, the paper projects that approximately 25% of all employment might be performed totally by AI and that two-thirds of jobs in the U.S. and Europe "are exposed to some degree of AI automation. "The most likely groups to be impacted by workforce automation are educated white-collar workers making up to $80,000 annually, according to research from OpenAI and the University of Pennsylvania. According to a McKinsey Global Institute study, developments in digitalization, robots, and artificial intelligence may require at least 14% of workers worldwide to change jobs by 2030.
