Doha: The Katara Cultural Village Foundation, in collaboration with the Business Forum, organised a specialised seminar titled “Artificial Intelligence and Medicine” as part of the 27th Katara Forum.

The seminar, held at the Katara Library for Arabic Fiction and moderated by writer and media person Issa bin Mohammed Al Ishaq, addressed the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming healthcare systems, particularly in the areas of medical diagnosis, clinical decision support, improved resource utilisation, and enhanced patient-centred healthcare.

Participants also emphasised the importance of building an integrated digital healthcare system based on partnerships between healthcare providers, academic and research institutions, technology developers, and regulatory bodies, to support a smarter and more sustainable healthcare future.

They emphasised that the future of healthcare is not about replacing doctors, but rather about a smart partnership between doctors and artificial intelligence (AI).

This partnership integrates technical precision with human expertise, ensuring that AI empowers doctors, not replaces them, and guarantees higher quality, safer, and more humane healthcare.
