“The power of AI is going to going to be incredibly disruptive in the health system in a positive way,” Simeon Brown told the New Zealand Private Surgical Hospitals Association Conference on September 18.
While there are a number of really important factors that need to be considered around patient safety and patient information, “the power of AI in care is something which we need to embrace in order to support that productivity equation”, the Minister said.
