- Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) being the most transformative technology of 21st Century has paved new frontiers in every field. One of the early candidates to be revolutionized was Health Care. The implementation of AI has an immense promise to improve the health outcomes in a resource-constrained setting like India although with limitations. The data by Central Bureau of Health Intelligence estimated the total size of health care workers in India as 4.7 million in 2015. The objective behind implementing AI was to ease down the pressure of the health care staff, lower down costs, and improve the lives of the patients. It is welcoming to implement AI in Health Care for it influences global sustainability, however, these implementations of AI in Health Care have ramifications in legal, ethical and economic sustainability. With AI transforming the world, the pertinent issue that can be questioned is, it may ensure a utopian future where the harmonization of the co-existence of human and machines would take place or such developments would portend a world with all kinds of divide the consequence of which would be poverty and suffering. The issues about the development of AI on the imminent note are, whether the development of AI in health care leads to economic sustainability? Furthermore, with the backdrop of the framework existing in India, would such development in health care lead to economic, legal and ethical ramifications? Lastly, whether such developments would bring progress towards United Nations sustainable development goals or pave us towards greater economic havoc and collapse of the environment?
The article aims to address these issues by analyzing the impacts of AI in multifarious sectors. The study combines the legal and ethical ramifications of implementing Artificial Intelligence in Health Care with an advancement of the SDGs and its impact on economic sustainability.
