Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: Controversy and Commentary (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798255567812)

AI isn't coming to medicine. It's already inside it.

The real question is no longer whether artificial intelligence will influence health care (it already does). The question is: who is defining its role in clinical decision-making, and whether physicians remain the final authority.

In Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: Controversy and Commentary, physician, psychiatrist, and thought leader Arthur Lazarus takes readers beyond the hype and into the real-world consequences of AI in clinical practice.

This is not a book about what AI can do.

It is a book about what AI is already doing-to clinical judgment, to physician autonomy, and to the future of care itself.
Inside this book, you'll explore:

• How AI is reshaping clinical decision-making
• Why "human-in-the-loop" often fails in real-world practice
• The hidden risks of AI hallucinations, bias, and overconfidence
• How AI is altering medical coding, documentation, and reimbursement
• The emerging legal and ethical challenges of AI-driven care
• Why high-performing AI can still lead to worse clinical outcomes
• The growing tension between efficiency, accuracy, and empathy
• What new roles-and responsibilities-AI will create for physicians

A different kind of AI book

Most books ask whether AI will replace doctors. This one asks something more important:
What happens when AI begins to shape how doctors think?

Drawing on real-world cases, clinical insights, and emerging research, Lazarus examines the subtle but profound shift from AI as a tool outside medicine to a force within it, embedded in workflows, narrative, diagnosis, and judgment itself.

For physicians, trainees, and healthcare leaders
Whether you are:

• A practicing clinician navigating AI in daily care
• A medical student entering an AI-enabled profession
• A healthcare executive shaping policy and systems
• Or simply someone interested in the future of medicine

This book offers a clear, thought-provoking framework for understanding what lies ahead.

The bottom line:
AI will not replace physicians.
But it will redefine what it means to be one.
And that future is being written now.
