Artificial Intelligence (AI) describes computers that mimic human cognitive functions. This review assesses the potential impact of AI on different areas of healthcare such as nursing care, pathology, radiology, surgery, and blood diagnostics. It also addresses ethical concerns and concludes that individual narrow AI improvements have the potential to form a giant unit that can eventually surpass human health professionals in the performance of key tasks.
