Summary
Academic health systems face critical challenges, but the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) offers a potential path forward. These institutions are grappling with financial instability, student debt, and competition, which threatens their sustainability. AI can help improve operational efficiencies, enhance patient care, and assist in resource management. However, the successful implementation of AI requires substantial investment, cultural adaptation among staff, and addressing ethical concerns related to data privacy. Balancing innovation with transparency and equity is essential for integrating AI into these academic settings.
