More APAC leaders to invest in genAI: report
Asia-Pacific will see increased investment in generative AI technology over the coming years.Â
In the ninth edition of Royal Philips’ Future Health Index report, over six in 10 APAC leaders polled said they plan to invest in genAI in the next three years. At present, almost 40% of them have already invested in the technology.Â
While there is great enthusiasm about healthcare AI’s potential, almost all leaders surveyed in the region said they are heavily concerned about “data bias in AI applications widening disparities in health outcomes.”
To mitigate its risk, leaders look to make AI more transparent, ensure diversity in the use of data and AI, provide continuous AI training and education, and implement policies for the ethical use of data and AI.Â
