In this talk, I will discuss the main healthcare challenges humanity faced in the past a few decades and how we tried to solve. I will then provide a brief introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and why in recent years it has become very popular in many fields. The talk will then focus on the challenges in adopting AI for healthcare problems. I will then present how implementing AI solutions to solve healthcare problems puts lots of responsibilities on different entities including patients, researchers, industry, and government and healthcare bodies. I will then show cases of successful stories where AI have actually helped tackle or even solve current healthcare problems. I will then present where I see the future of AI in healthcare is heading towards and obstacles we may face. Finally, I will wrap up the talk with a summary, opinions and interesting unanswered questions for the audience to leave with.
