A deluge of news articles and opinion pieces, reflecting both concerns about and promises of the rapidly advancing field, often note AI\u2019s potential to spread misinformation and replace human workers on a massive scale. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.stanford.edu\/jonc101\">Jonathan Chen<\/a>, MD, PhD, assistant professor of medicine, the speculation about large-scale disruptions has a kernel of truth to it, but it misses another element when it comes to health care: AI will bring benefits to both patients and providers.<\/p>\n<p>Chen <a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamainternalmedicine\/fullarticle\/2804310\">discussed<\/a> the challenges with and potential for AI in health care in a commentary published in <em>JAMA<\/em> on April 28. In this Q&amp;A, he expands on how he sees AI integrating into health care.<\/p>\n<p>The algorithms we\u2019re seeing emerge have really popped open Pandora\u2019s box and, ready or not, AI will substantially change the way physicians work and the way patients interact with clinical medicine.
