ABSTRACT: Purpose: This study examines the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, focusing on its applications in medical diagnosis, drug discovery, surgery, and disease management while addressing ethical, technological, and social concerns. Method: A comprehensive literature review synthesizes research on AI applications, including AI-assisted diagnosis, drug discovery, robot-assisted surgery, stroke management, and artificial neurons. Findings: AI has enabled significant breakthroughs in healthcare, enhancing outcomes in diagnostics, personalized treatments, and surgical procedures. Despite its promise, challenges such as privacy, safety, and equitable access remain critical concerns. Research Limitations: The study relies on existing literature and lacks empirical validation of AI models, with its scope limited by the rapid evolution of AI technologies. Social Implications: The integration of AI raises concerns about privacy, patient rights, and equitable access, particularly in underserved regions, potentially exacerbating healthcare disparities. Practical Implications: The study urges healthcare practitioners to adopt AI tools for improved diagnostics and treatments while advocating for regulatory frameworks to ensure ethical and safe AI integration. Originality: This study offers a comprehensive review of AI’s transformative role in healthcare, emphasizing ethical considerations and providing actionable insights for researchers and practitioners.
