2025 Watch List: Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been suggested as a solution to tackle issues faced by the Canadian health care system and revolutionize health care delivery. It is expected to affect all aspects of the system from public health planning and disease diagnosis and prognosis to clinical documentation and other administrative processes. The 2025 Watch List aims to give decision makers a clear signal about 5 artificial intelligence technologies and 5 issues related to their development and adoption that are likely to affect health care delivery and planning in Canada in the next 5 years. This work aims to separate “the hope”, or significant promise, of artificial intelligence technologies in health care from “the hype” that these technologies generate.
