Artificial Intelligence’s Role in the Healthcare System
New Trends in Sustainable Business and Consumption
Nowadays, because of the development and the evolving technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) changed the way healthcare systems function and altered the interactions between medical practitioners and patients. In this context, AI has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare system and is an opportunity to strengthen the doctor-patient relationship by offering accurate information in a reasonable amount of time. After a brief journey of the evolution of defining artificial intelligence, the article first covers the meaning of AI in the healthcare system through a systematic literature review, classifying the essential roles of AI in this system. It continues with the explained grade of involvement of the European Union in this field and its decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic regarding the uptake and upscale of digital health solutions. Lastly, this article emphasizes the necessity of having a unitary approach across the European Union regarding the AI involvement in the healthcare system by suggesting the implementation of a single European platform for medical appointments to adapt to the digital world and facilitate medicine without borders. This article aims to provide an overview of the AI roles in the healthcare system that have been developed and implemented and are playing a much-needed role in improving healthcare services, quality of medical practice, and patient satisfaction regarding the services. The classification underlines the positive aspects of adapting the current healthcare system to the new era and embraces the challenges. Artificial intelligence's roles lead to a better approach to the patient's attitude once they know the benefits of using and accepting artificial intelligence technologies in the medical field.

AI and Medicine
AI and Society-the encompassing subject of this journal-is probably illustrated (although not exhausted) by interrogations specifically focused on AI in medicine. Justified by spectacular achievements recently facilitated through applied deep learning methodology (based on neural networks), the "Everything is possible" view dominates this new hour in the "boom and bust" curve of AI performance history. The optimistic view collides head on with the "It's not possible," ascertainments often originating in a skewed understanding of both AI and medicine. The meaning of the conflicting views-whose score reality will eventually settle-can be assessed only by addressing the nature of medicine. Specifically, by answering the question: Which part of medicine, if any, can and should be entrusted to AI-now or at some moment in the future? That both medicine and AI will continue to change goes without saying. Medicine is focused on what is needed to maintain life. It is an endeavor within the larger context of social organization of productive activity, of economic and political interaction, of culture. These and the environment, which used to be acknowledged as the dominant factor before the genetics revolution, affect medicine in all its aspects. AI in medicine is the shorthand for the meeting point between a new technology and what healthcare practitioners are or should be. Specifically:-How to identify the specific talent and dedication healthcare demands-How medical education should be conceived and carried out

DR. Ram Kumar and DR. Anjna Agarwal, Govt. College of Nursing, GSVM Medical College, Kanpur, (U.P.), & Rajasthan University, Jaipur (Raj.), INDIA, 2020
Artificial intelligence touches nearly every part of our day. The main functions of artificial intelligence areto 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 ongoing 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.
