Humans and health: new challenges in the age of artificial intelligence

Abstract

The article suggests paying attention to the new challenges that a healthcare system focused on the application of generative artificial intelligence technologies poses for patients. Technology has the potential to expand existing practices, weather positive or negative, so it is necessary to highlight the issues that have arisen from past of healthcare system development and the new peculiarities that are rooted in the technologies themselves, the relationship between humans and machines, the understanding of competence, and the development of trust. The work is focused on general scientific methods and analysis of secondary data in the field of artificial intelligence technologies in medicine. Despite the lack of need for programming skills to apply generative artificial intelligence technologies, it is necessary to pay attention to high-level technical literacy within the framework of health literacy.
