5 Ways Artificial Intelligence May Affect Health Care in the Near Future and What That Means for You

Technology is changing fast, and the world is changing with it. Concepts that were mere science fiction only a couple of decades ago -- like artificial intelligence (AI) -- are quickly becoming commonplace. Computers have become powerful enough to handle complex AI computations; machine learning algorithms are more accurate and faster than ever; and the cloud and the internet of things have made it possible for even small devices to access artificial intelligence's enormous capabilities.

That's why responsible use of AI solutions in health care could improve, and even save people's lives. On the other hand, health care is an area where recklessness can occur; that's why new developments are regulated and implemented slowly and cautiously.

Here are five ways that AI and machine learning will likely be affecting your health care in the very near future:

• Digital Consultations
• Radiology and Images
• Personalized Medicine: Faster, More Accurate Diagnoses
• Robot Surgeons
• Cybersecurity
