Abstract
This article explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into general medical practice in India. It discusses global AI healthcare trends and India's strategic approach of leveraging AI for societal benefit through public service applications. The article examines Indian practitioners' skepticism and optimism regarding AI in enhancing diagnostics vs replicating nuanced clinical judgment. It highlights patients' data privacy concerns related to India's expanding digital health initiatives. Additionally, it identifies limitations in using AI for administrative tasks due to data constraints and the need for greater involvement of clinical users. Looking ahead, the article outlines future directions and challenges, including strengthening infrastructure, upskilling providers in AI, bolstering investment in translational research, and balancing technological innovation with ethical, human-centered healthcare delivery.
