Enhancing Healthcare Informatics with Transparent and Explainable AI
About the Book
This book will examine the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the healthcare sector, focusing on the critical need for transparency and explainability in AI systems. As healthcare organizations increasingly adopt AI-driven tools for diagnostics, treatment planning, and data analysis, the importance of understanding how these algorithms reach decisions becomes paramount. This book will offer a comprehensive exploration of explainable AI (XAI) technologies, their applications in healthcare informatics, and strategies to ensure trust, accountability, and ethical AI usage. Through a combination of theoretical insights and practical case studies, this book will serve as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers aiming to harness the power of AI while maintaining clarity and control over its decision-making processes.
