Types of AI & ML in Action

AI and machine learning are transforming industries worldwide,
revolutionizing healthcare, finance, education, entertainment,
and transportation. This chapter explores real-world examples
of AI applications across these fields, examines ethical
implications and bias, and encourages creative thinking about
future innovations. You'll also reflect on how AI disrupts
traditional industries and what that means for the future of work,
technology, and society.

AI & ML in Healthcare – Part 1

The healthcare industry is being revolutionized by AI and ML,
leading to more accurate diagnoses, personalized treatments,
and improved patient care.

Example 1: AI-Powered Diagnostics

AI algorithms can analyze medical images—such as X-rays, MRIs,
and CT scans—to detect diseases like cancer in their earliest
stages. Using deep learning, these models identify patterns that
may be too subtle for human eyes, often achieving greater
accuracy than traditional diagnostic methods.

Early Detection: AI flags potential abnormalities, allowing

doctors to intervene sooner.
Higher Accuracy: Reduces human errors and enhances

diagnostic precision.
Efficiency: Speeds up the analysis process, helping radiologists

review cases faster.
