Reestruturação das profissões da saúde e perspectivas para o futuro na era da inteligência artificial

Abstract

The application of artificial intelligence devices and algorithms in heal‑th has become a reality in many areas. However, as in the case of other technologies already used, in order for these tools to effectively result in improving the quality of care, health professionals need to know how to critically assess their positive and negative aspects, as well as its own limitations. Thus, it is extremely important to adopt a posture of colla‑boration, and not of confrontation, with these devices. This essay seeks to do an overview about artificial intelligence, and it’s use in health, in addition to elucidate points and raise questions on risks, benefits and the dilemma of dehumanization in medical settings. Furthermore, it seeks to reflect about what is the profile that the “professional of the future” should have and the paths that educational institutions could take for their training.
