Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is known as one of the most important technologies of the current era which is growing and evolving at an increasing pace and has influenced a wide range of businesses in different fields. One of the fields that have been heavily influenced by AI is the health field. Such industries as healthcare, radiology, and pharmaceuticals are among the industries that fall under the category of health businesses. This research aims to investigate the impact of AI on health-related businesses for which the theoretical and empirical literature is systematically reviewed to formulate the problem and provide a framework for exploring how AI influences health-related businesses. The results show that AI has had different impacts on health-related businesses and has triggered changes in their structure, but these effects have come with opportunities, e.g., innovation and saving in time and costs, and challenges, e.g., insufficient confidence and trust, lack of sufficient security, human resource crisis, and lack of specialized and skilled workforce emerged as a result of the use of AI in health businesses.
