The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in social innovation is transforming the healthcare landscape, promising improved access, quality, and affordability. A recent report by the World Economic Forum highlights the significant contributions of AI in healthcare, environmental sustainability, and economic empowerment. In the healthcare sector, AI is being used to advance immunization programs, supply chains, referrals, diagnoses, drug safety, and overall health system efficiency. The report finds that 25% of innovators are using AI to advance access to health, with a significant focus on Sustainable Development Goal 3, Good Health and Well-being. Social innovators are deploying AI to address multiple challenges within healthcare, including using AI in Africa to support large HIV and TB programs, providing program oversight to TB programs, and addressing Social Determinants of Health in the US. The report also emphasizes the need for global collaboration to achieve health equity, embracing the ethical adoption of AI, and creating regulatory frameworks for its use in healthcare.
