The healthcare sector is considered to be one of the largest and fast-growing industries in the world. Innovations and novel approaches have always remained the prime aims in order to bring massive development. Before the emergence of technology, all the sectors, including the healthcare sector was dependant dependent on man power, which was time-consuming, and less accurate with lack of efficiency. With the recent advancements in machine learning, the condition is has been steadily revolutionizing. in the practice of the health care industry. Artificial Intelligence intelligence (AI) lies in the computer science department, which stresses on the intelligent machines’ creation, that work and react just like human beings. In simple words, AI is the capability of a computer program to think and learn, almost satisfying natural intelligence. It is the ability of a system to interpret the external data correctly, learn from it and finally use those learnings to execute some particular goals and tasks through adaptation. It utilizes multiple technologies to comprehend, act and understand from past experiences. Involving AI is not a science fiction that was once a very long time ago.

Almost 200 years have passed since the publication of E.T.A. Hoffmann's Der Sandmann and Alex Garland's science fiction film Ex Machina. And yet both ask amazingly similar questions about human integrity in the face of artificial intelligence. The humanoid machines act as objects of reflection, from which it can be seen that the essence of human beings is always only contoured in an omnipresent network of power relations and by imitating normative behavior patterns. These power relations and performative acts are discussed in more detail in this work, among other things, by referring back to the concepts of panoptism and performativity. Posthuman subjects are thus negotiated as both a danger and an enlightenment for the human being.

AbstractArtificial Intelligence (AI) technology is transforming the healthcare sector. However, despite this, the associated ethical implications remain open to debate. This research investigates how signals of AI responsibility impact healthcare practitioners’ attitudes toward AI, satisfaction with AI, AI usage intentions, including the underlying mechanisms. Our research outlines autonomy, beneficence, explainability, justice, and non-maleficence as the five key signals of AI responsibility for healthcare practitioners. The findings reveal that these five signals significantly increase healthcare practitioners’ engagement, which subsequently leads to more favourable attitudes, greater satisfaction, and higher usage intentions with AI technology. Moreover, ‘techno-overload’ as a primary ‘techno-stressor’ moderates the mediating effect of engagement on the relationship between AI justice and behavioural and attitudinal outcomes. When healthcare practitioners perceive AI technology as adding extra workload, such techno-overload will undermine the importance of the justice signal and subsequently affect their attitudes, satisfaction, and usage intentions with AI technology.

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing — and strengthening — modern healthcare through technologies that can predict, grasp, learn, and act, whether it's employed to identify new relationships between genetic codes or to control surgery-assisting robots. It can detect minor patterns that humans would completely overlook. This study explores and discusses the various modern applications of AI in the health sector. Particularly, the study focuses on three most emerging areas of AI-powered healthcare: AI-led drug discovery, clinical trials, and patient care. The findings suggest that pharmaceutical firms have benefited from AI in healthcare by speeding up their drug discovery process and automating target identification. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help also to eliminate time-consuming data monitoring methods. The findings also indicate that AI-assisted clinical trials are capable of handling massive volumes of data and producing highly accurate results. Medical AI companies develop systems that assist patients at every level. Patients' medical data is also analyzed by clinical intelligence, which provides insights to assist them improve their quality of life.

The article explores how artificial intelligence is constructed in a female body and showcases the boundaries between human and technological traits, as well as the relationship between human beings and technology. The article defines the notion of artificial intelligence and discusses how artificial intelligence is portrayed in science fiction films. The article does not attempt to provide new theoretical insights into artificial intelligence but, instead, to show how artificial intelligence is characterised in the context of modern science fiction films. Two contemporary science fiction films, which focus on the artificial intelligence in the female body, are analysed: Alex Garland’s Ex Machina (2014) and Spike Jonze’s Her (2013). The analysis of the films showcases the blurred lines between being a human and being a robot: AI in the female body is portrayed as having adequate cognitive abilities and an ability to experience or to realistically imitate various mental states. The AI embodiment found in the films explores different narratives: the anthropomorphic body (Ex Machina) motivates to get to know the world and thus expands one’s experience, while the partial embodiment (Her) “programs” intellectual actions and development beyond the human body. Ex Machina highlights the anti-humanity of the female robot: another (human) life is devalued in order to pursue a goal. On the contrary, Her highlights the hyper-humanity of the operating system: continuous improvements exceed the boundaries of communication with other people.

Technology innovation has made life easy for human beings. Technology is being used everywhere. This also extends to the healthcare sector. The healthcare sector produces a large amount of data each minute. Because of privacy issues, much of the data generated is not used and is not publicly accessible. Healthcare data comes from diverse sources hence it will be always varied in nature. Keeping track of such data has become much easier these days. Predictive analysis in healthcare is an emerging technology that identifies the person with poor health where the risks of developing chronic conditions are more likely and provide better solutions in the field of healthcare. Statistical methods and algorithms can be used to predict the disease before the actual symptoms are revealed in humans. By using data analytics algorithms one can easily predict chronic diseases such as obesity, high/low Blood Pressure, diabetes, asthma, cardiopulmonary disorders. Because of an unhealthy diet, lack of proper exercise, stress, consumption of tobacco, alcohol, etc. chronic diseases are most common these days. If the symptoms of chronic diseases are detected in the early stages, there will be less risk of hospitalization by cost-effectively maintaining better health. Big data analysis and health care can be mixed to produce accurate results. The application of predictive analytics in healthcare is highlighted in this paper. It provides a broader analysis in the prevention of different chronic diseases by using predictive analytics. The paper also includes various issues that arise when handling health care data. For each chronic disease, diverse models, techniques, and algorithms are used for predicting and analyzing. The paper comprises a conceptual model that integrates the prediction of most common chronic diseases

Rapid technological advances, particularly recent artificial intelligence (AI) revolutions such as digital assistants (e.g., Alexa, Siri), self-driving cars, and cobots and robots, have changed human lives and will continue to have even bigger impact on our future society. Some of those AI inventions already shocked people across the world by wielding their power of surpassing human intelligence and cognitive abilities; see, for example, the examples of Watson (IBM’s supercomputer) and AlphaGo (Google DeepMind’s AI program) beating the human champions of Jeopardy and Go games, respectively. Then many questions arise. How does AI affect human beings and the larger society? How should we educate our children in the AI age? What changes are necessary to help humans better adapt and flourish in the AI age? What are the key enablers of the AI revolution, such as big data and machine learning? What are the applications of AI in education and how do they work? Answering these critical questions requires interdisciplinary research. There is no shortage of research on AI per se, since it is a highly important and impactful research topic that cuts across many fields of science and technology. Nevertheless, there are no effective guidelines for educational researchers and practitioners that give quick summaries and references on this topic. Because the intersection of AI and education/learning is an emerging field of research, the literature is in flux and the jury is still out. Thus, our goal here is to give readers a quick introduction to this broad topic by drawing upon a limited selection of books, reports, and articles. This entry is organized into three major sections, where we present commentaries along with a list of annotated references on each of the following areas: (1) AI Impacts on the Society and Education; (2) AI Enablers: Big Data in Education and Machine Learning; and (3) Applications of AI in Education: Examples and Evidence.
