Artificial Intelligence has the potential to reshape healthcare and significantly improve quality of life, provided that it is developed with security controls (such as blockchain) and privacy principles (including ethics) in mind. AI is not a panacea; it is a tool that we must train the rising generations to better develop and use. However, like any tool, the potential benefits of AI are inhibited by the potential for aberrant use. AI systems and machine learning algorithms are only as reliable and accurate as the data we provide and only as ethical as the constraints incorporated into the developed code. It behooves us all to develop frameworks that increase transparency, incentivize collaboration, incorporate ethics, require privacy protections, and mandate security controls.
