The future is now. It’s here. Health systems are hiring data scientists and spending on infrastructure. 58% of respondents are using AI in clinical practice, with 50% using between one and 10 apps.

Some 25 percent call themselves advanced and proficient when it comes to AI, 15 percent are rolling AI apps out this year. Another 33 percent are planning to deploy it in the future. Only 27 percent say AI is not part of their current plans.
