Why AI in Healthcare Has Failed in 2022 - The Truth about Healthcare AI and Why It has Failed So Far

Investment in artificial intelligence was up 108% year-over-year in 2021, with $66.8 billion in global funding for startups. Healthcare AI accounted for nearly one-fifth of total funding, CB Insights reports with funding doubling in 2021. The history of AI in healthcare dates back to the 1950s when researchers began exploring the use of computers to diagnose medical conditions. In the decades that followed, AI technologies such as machine learning and natural language processing were developed, and these technologies have been applied to a variety of healthcare tasks, including radiology. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry. By automating certain tasks and providing doctors with more accurate and timely information, AI can help improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. However, despite its potential benefits, AI has not yet been widely adopted in the Medicare program, specifically in the field of radiology.
