Impact of artificial intelligence
on health information
literacy: guidance for
healthcare professionals
Moyosore Adegboye
Introduction
Health care is undergoing a
transformative shift propelled by
advancements in artificial intelligence
(AI). From diagnostic algorithms to
personalized treatment recommendations,
AI is revolutionizing how health care is
delivered and accessed. This paper sets the
stage for exploring the impact of AI on
health information literacy (HIL) and the
imperative for integrating AI literacy and
HIL to navigate this evolving landscape
effectively. The integration of AI into
health care is reshaping the industry,
offering unparalleled opportunities for
improving patient care, optimizing clinical
workflows and advancing medical
research. From diagnostic algorithms to
predictive analytics, AI technologies are
revolutionizing how health care is
delivered and accessed worldwide
(Nutbeam, 2023). As AI becomes
increasingly ubiquitous in health-care
settings, its impact on HIL is becoming
more pronounced. HIL encompasses the
ability to access, understand and evaluate
health information critically a skill set that
is indispensable for health-care
professionals, patients and the broader
community. The convergence of AI and
HIL represents a critical juncture where
technological innovation interse cts with
human cognition. While AI holds
tremendous promise for enhancing health-
care outcomes, it also introduces new
challenges and complexities for
individuals navigating the vast landscape
of health information (Charow et al.,
2021). Understanding the implications of
AI on HIL is essential for effectively
harnessing the benefits of AI in health care
while mitigating potential risks and
disparities. This paper sets the stage for
exploring the intricate relationship
between AI and HIL, for health-care
practice. By examining the rise of AI in
health care, the intersection of AI and HIL
and the imperative for promoting AI
literacy and integrating it with HIL, this
paper aims to provide insights and
guidance for health-care professionals
navigating the evolving landscape of
AI-driven health-care delivery.
The rise of artificial intelligence in
health care
The integration of AI technologies in
health care is rapidly expanding, driven by
the promise of improving patient
outcomes, enhancing efficiency and
reducing costs. AI applications encompass
various domains, including medical
imaging interpretation, predictive analytics,
virtual health assistants and precision
medicine (Gupta and Yang, 2024). As AI
becomes increasingly pervasive in health-
care settings, understanding its implications
