However, to shape a future where AI serves public health goals, policy makers need to ask the right questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>AI has both huge promise and dangerous pitfalls: improved outcomes and efficiency on the one hand, and risks such as bias, safety concerns and governance challenges on the other.<\/p>\n<p>But how might AI transform the health sector? How is it being adopted across Europe? What are the key considerations for decision makers?
