Artificial intelligence (AI) has been touted as a game-changer in healthcare, with the potential to revolutionize the way we diagnose and treat diseases. However, as with any new technology, there are concerns about how it will impact social inequality in access to healthcare.
One of the biggest challenges facing healthcare today is the issue of healthcare disparities. These disparities exist across a range of factors, including race, ethnicity, income, and geography. For example, people living in rural areas often have less access to healthcare services than those living in urban areas. Similarly, people from lower-income backgrounds may struggle to afford healthcare, while those from minority ethnic groups may face discrimination and bias when seeking medical treatment.
