title Paging Dr. Robot
abstract Can artificial intelligence (AI) really provide the diagnostic answers to help physicians spend more time with their patients? This initial exploratory study goes into detail about AI in healthcare and its effect on the doctor-patient relationship. I summarize this by using the four-box analysis, which is a tool used by bioethicists to help weigh the risks and benefits of using versus not using treatment. I surveyed a medical doctor along with 28 Atlantic Medical Group physicians across the Atlantic Health System (Morristown, Overlook, Newton, Chilton, and Hackettstown Medical Centers, Goryeb Children's Hospital, and Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute) to collect their overall thoughts, opinions, expectations, and experiences about this so called "Fourth Industrial Revolution." With regards to privacy and regulating AI in healthcare, please refer to Appendix A, as these areas are also greatly affected by the implementation of AI in healthcare. The four-box analysis is also used here to help break down the ethics that comes with AI in privacy and regulation. The research methodology regarding privacy and regulation is also found in Appendix A. In Appendix B, I introduce the Robot Companion to help summarize the different AI ethical questions. The survey is found in Appendix C.
