Transparency is another challenge: "black box" algorithms, where decision-making processes are opaque, complicate trust between providers and patients. Efforts to develop explainable AI (XAI) are underway to make algorithms more interpretable, ensuring medical professionals understand and trust AI-generated recommendations. Looking ahead, collaboration between AI developers, healthcare providers, and policymakers will be essential to harness AI’s potential responsibly. Emerging technologies like generative AI, which can create synthetic datasets for research while preserving privacy, and predictive models for epidemic tracking, underscore AI’s growing role in public health.
