Description

Artificial intelligence is poised to transform medicine. By enabling earlier diagnosis, forecasting survival and adverse clinical events, accelerating the discovery of new drugs, and reshaping clinical decision-making, it promises to redefine the practice of medicine. Yet a deeper question emerges: who will benefit most from this revolution, and who will be left behind? Artificial Intelligence: The Unequal Cure examines how disparities in data, technology, expertise, and access could turn medical progress into a new source of inequality, and explores how policy can ensure that the benefits of artificial intelligence are shared more equitably across populations, healthcare systems, and geographical regions. The future of medicine may depend not only on how intelligent our machines become, but on how wisely we choose to distribute the progress they create.
