Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to become a significant disruptive force in healthcare delivery, setting new standards by automating routine tasks and introducing AI-informed care models that could redefine the roles of physicians. However, this transformation presents significant challenges, including potential overdiagnosis, increased costs to consumers, environmental impacts, and distributional consequences as market power is transferred from current entities (e.g., physicians) to tech companies, making it crucial for healthcare professionals to carefully navigate this disruption while preserving beneficial aspects of traditional care.
