... in the workplace
BVNA Members Advisory Service explores the benefits and risks of using artificial intelligence in the veterinary profession.
Artificial intelligence( AI) is an increasingly relevant and rapidly developing technology that is shaping workplaces in many industries, including the veterinary profession. It offers exciting opportunities to improve efficiency and outcomes, but it also raises ethical, legal and professional concerns. Understanding AI and applying it responsibly is essential to ensure patient welfare, client trust and professional integrity.
Technology firm IBM [ 1 ] defines AI as:“ Technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human learning, comprehension, problem solving, decision making, creativity and autonomy. Applications and devices equipped with AI can see and identify objects. They can understand and respond to human language. They can learn from new information and experience. They can make detailed recommendations to users and experts. They can act independently, replacing the need for human intelligence or intervention.”
