Abstract
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) are algorithms capable of generating original content. The ability of GenAI to learn and generate novel outputs alike human cognition has taken the world by storm and ushered in a new era. In this review, we explore the role of GenAI in healthcare, including clinical, operational, and research applications, and delve into the cybersecurity risks of this technology. We discuss risks such as data privacy risks, data poisoning attacks, the propagation of bias, and hallucinations. In this review, we recommend risk mitigation strategies to enhance cybersecurity in GenAI technologies and further explore the use of GenAI as a tool in itself to enhance cybersecurity across the various AI algorithms. GenAI is emerging as a pivotal catalyst across various industries including the healthcare domain. Comprehending the intricacies of this technology and its potential risks will be imperative for us to fully capitalise on the benefits that GenAI can bring.
期刊介绍:
The Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology, a bimonthly, peer-reviewed online scientific publication, is an official publication of the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO), a supranational organization which is committed to research, training, learning, publication and knowledge and skill transfers in ophthalmology and visual sciences. The Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology welcomes review articles on currently hot topics, original, previously unpublished manuscripts describing clinical investigations, clinical observations and clinically relevant laboratory investigations, as well as .perspectives containing personal viewpoints on topics with broad interests. Editorials are published by invitation only. Case reports are generally not considered. The Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology covers 16 subspecialties and is freely circulated among individual members of the APAO’s member societies, which amounts to a potential readership of over 50,000.
