ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, DATA PROTECTION,AND HEALTHCARE: AREAS OF CONVERGENCEAND DIVERGENCE

Abstract

The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and healthcare has revolutionized the medical landscape, offering unprecedented opportunities for improved diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. However, this symbiosis also raises critical concerns about data protection, privacy, and security. As AI systems increasingly rely on vast amounts of personal health data, the need for robust ethical and regulatory frameworks has become paramount. This paper navigates the complex intersections between AI, data protection, and healthcare, illuminating areas of convergence and divergence. Through a nuanced examination of the benefits and challenges of AI in healthcare, this paper will reveal the imperative for harmonizing technological innovation with human rights and dignity.
