| Abstract | Artificial Intelligence (AI) is disrupting medical sciences, introducing technology that makes healthcare smarter, quicker, and more individualized. Imagine this: machines that detect cancer in scans before it is too late, customize drugs to your DNA, or smooth the chaos of congested hospitals. This review dives deep into how AI—powered by tricks like machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing—is tackling some of medicine’s toughest nuts to crack, like diagnostic slip-ups (think 10% of deaths in developed nations, says WHO, 2023) and ballooning costs (headed for $10 trillion by 2025. We’ll walk through its big wins—think 9.4% better breast cancer detection or slashing drug development time from years to weeks and its real-world uses, from rural TB screening (WHO, 2024) to mental health chat bots cutting depression by 30%. But it’s not all sunshine: privacy breaches (like Ireland’s 2021 hack, HSE, 2021), biased algorithms and ethical headaches—like who’s to blame for a wrong call—loom large. As of March 2025, research shows AI’s on a roll, with breakthroughs like multi-disease blood tests and nanomedicine hinting at what’s next. We’ll explore all this—current uses, perks, pitfalls, ethics, and future vibes—grounded in the latest studies. AI is a team player with immense possibilities, but it must be worked upon to dazzle all. |
