It offers the ability to analyse vast datasets, uncover hidden patterns, and make informed decisions that enhance patient care, he said.

“However, with this power comes responsibility. We must ensure that AI is deployed ethically and equitably, addressing biases and privacy concerns to truly benefit society,” Srivastav said, news agency PTI reported.

Sonia Dosanjh, scientist at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Mohali, highlighted the importance of technological interventions in healthcare.

“AI offers unprecedented opportunities in data-driven decision-making, disease surveillance, and personalized treatment plans. This workshop is a step towards harnessing these opportunities,” she said.

The workshop underscored the need for specialised AI applications in healthcare, such as development of a healthGPT, which would provide tailored solutions by leveraging healthcare-specific data.
