ABSTRACT

Artificial intelligence touches nearly every part of our day. The main functions of artificial intelligence are to create expert systems and to implement human intelligence in machines. Artificial intelligence has played a significant role in various fields such as gaming, natural language processing, expert systems, vision systems, speech recognition, hand writing recognition and intelligent robots. Artificial intelligence in healthcare can help cut costs of on-going health operations and impact the quality of care for clients everywhere.AI can also improve client’s outcomes by diagnosing diseases early. Artificial intelligence can be helpful in reducing human errors, increasing productivity, making faster decision-making processes, reducing cost of goods and services, excellent handling of repetitive and frequent tasks, excellent handling of low-level tasks, transformation in healthcare for betterment and improves security. Artificial intelligence can have certain disadvantages also such as loss of jobs, risk to humanity, possibility to be wrong, costly to develop, lack of original creativity, difficulty in handling highly intelligent tasks, lack of explanation and loss of skills etc. McCarthy has observed that today's nurses spend time doing low level tasks that can be performed by someone else with different skills. Nurses play an important role in every facet of patient care starting from the cost of health care to the overall patient’s experience during hospital stay. Within this spectrum of responsibility lies the prospect for a number of different technologies to use the computing power of Artificial intelligence to assist with quality nursing care.
