Fordham University: Thought Leadership Event Will Focus on the Ways in Which Artificial Intelligence Will Impact the Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Industries

New York, NY, Jan. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Although the benefits of innovative and general-purpose technologies often promise to create sweeping changes across numerous sectors, realizing their full potential beyond the hype requires careful navigation and implementation. The rise of AI in the realm of healthcare is a prime example of technology that is brimming with possibilities—from improving diagnostics to personalizing patient care—but it must go way beyond mere technological advancement in order to be successful. Those developing and implementing AI for the healthcare industry need to have a deep understanding of its practical application and integration, which involves not only embracing AI’s capabilities but also comprehending the nuances and complexities of the healthcare systems where it is to be deployed. The ultimate indicator of how successful AI will be in a healthcare setting hinges on synergizing technological innovation with institutional readiness that will ensure AI’s deployment in healthcare is both effective and transformative.
