Abstract
Over the last decade, technological advances in deep learning (artificial neural networks, big data and computing power) have made it possible to build digital solutions that imitate human cognitive processes (language, vision, hearing, etc.) and are able to generate new content when prompted. This generative AI is going to disrupt healthcare. Healthcare professionals must get prepared since there are ethical and legal challenges that must be identified and tackled.
