Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the field of medicine by improving diagnostic accuracy, enhancing patient care, and accelerating medical research. This article examines the major roles of AI in healthcare, including disease detection, medical imaging, patient monitoring, clinical decision support, and drug development. It further explores the integration of AI with telemedicine, robotic surgery, and personalized medicine, while addressing the ethical, legal, and technical challenges that accompany its implementation. The study concludes that, despite existing limitations, AI possesses substantial potential to revolutionize healthcare systems and improve global health outcomes when integrated responsibly alongside human clinical expertise.
