Regulatory Sandboxes for Artificial Intelligence: Techno-Legal Approaches for India, ISAIL-TR-002
growth in use of artificial intelligence in the Indian space sector has been rapid.
Artificial Intelligence in the Indian Medical Sector As of today, healthcare systems across the globe, although developing rapidly, are however struggling with ever-increasing costs, which is making easy access to healthcare systems and cures harder than already was to the general public.47 Thus, in order to aid this situation, artificial intelligence technologies have been recommended in the medical sector which will not only aim to simplify the lives of patients, doctors, and the hospital administrators, but it would simultaneously also assist in speeding up the healthcare process all in all in only a fraction of the prior cost involved in the relevant processes. In this view, many scholars had already predicted the use of artificial intelligence in the healthcare industry due to its significant achievements in the era of information technology, thus landing its positive influence in the medical sector.48 Since artificial intelligence technologies are able to mimic the usual human mind’s cognitive functions through general processes of machine learning and data input, the healthcare industry has already started experiencing a paradigm shift with a larger availability of healthcare and rapid progress of analytics techniques.49 Healthcare services, which are thus supported by artificial intelligence algorithms, will be able to revolutionise the medical treatment processes in the country in a way which has not been tried and tested before. This, however, although aided in providing creative solutions, it also opened the pathway of May 2018) <https://www.un-spider.org/news-andevents/news/new-monitoring-system-strengthens-forestconservation-india> accessed 07 March 2022. 47 Eric J.
