The article highlights the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in promoting sustainability in healthcare systems. The author, Antonio Jonas Matos, a medical student at the Federal University of Ceará, Brazil, emphasizes the need for healthcare systems to defend themselves against unprecedented challenges such as economic crises, pandemics, and natural disasters. AI emerges as a crucial tool in this context, given its rapid learning ability and predictive capabilities. The use of AI mechanisms can unify medical data and procedures, facilitate the storage of large volumes of information, and enable efficient forecasting of future demands and needs. This can lead to a reduction in healthcare costs and strengthening of healthcare systems during crises. However, the author also acknowledges the ethical issues that arise with the use of AI in healthcare, such as concerns regarding patient privacy and the risk of mechanization and dehumanization of healthcare services. Despite these challenges, the author believes that AI can be a key component in building sustainable healthcare systems that prioritize patient well-being.
