[Artificial Intelligence, the new scalpel of medicine. Part II : medical applications, challenges, and perspectives]

A staple in hospitals and doctors' offices worldwide, artificial intelligence (AI) systems, now assist healthcare providers by analyzing massive amounts of medical data and offering personalized diagnoses and treatment recommendations. But beyond these common applications, bolder initiatives are emerging. For example, researchers are exploring how AI could help predict epidemics or personalize treatments based on everyone's unique genetic characteristics. However, these advances are not without challenges. Ethical questions are emerging, such as data privacy and the moral responsibility for decisions made by algorithms. These issues require careful consideration from those involved in change. It is also crucial not to loose sight of the human aspect of healthcare, ensuring that AI complements rather than replaces the doctor-patient relationship. By embracing these technologies with caution and responsibility, we can help shape a future where AI supports healthcare ethically, equitably, and effectively, for the well-being of all.
