AI is just a tool. A powerful one, yes. But just a tool.   **![VINCENT-KEUNEN-e1595345160894-400x393](https://blog.intelligenthealth.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/VINCENT-KEUNEN-e1595345160894-400x393.jpg?width=200&name=VINCENT-KEUNEN-e1595345160894-400x393.jpg)**   **How do you think AI will make its biggest mark in healthcare in the next 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?** It will automate all the easy tasks, allowing doctors to focus on the more specialized and advanced cases. I also hope it will motivate doctors to go back to more human interactions.       **How do you think AI will change human contact in healthcare?**   AI should automate the mundane tasks allowing doctors to connect better with patients.   **What does AI mean for the skill requirements of health professionals? How will it change?:**   Skills of health professionals will need to evolve, like skills of engineers have evolved with the calculator... They will need to use advanced tools and focus on the human connection.     Join Vincent and the global AI and health community for [Intelligent Health 2020](https://intelligenthealth.ai/) (9-10 Sept 2020, Online) to help create a future with AI in healthcare #withoutborders and #SaveLivesWithAI   Find out more and book your tickets at [intelligenthealth.ai](https://intelligenthealth.ai/)     **YOUR GLOBAL AI EVENTS CALENDAR** Here is your Global AI Events Calendar where you can meet your fellow 54,000 InspiredMinds community members of business leaders, heads of government, policy makers, startups, investors, academics and media.   **INTELLIGENT HEALTH ** 9-10 September 2020 Online [intelligenthealth.ai](https://intelligenthealth.ai/?__hstc=82997193.99af26b513a32996efda29a9b3fffe81.1586873860183.1591879083157.1591880953546.126&__hssc=82997193.4.1591880953546&__hsfp=693435645)   **INTELLIGENT HEALTH AI WEBINARS** [intelligenthealth.ai/webinars](https://intelligenthealth.ai/webinars/?__hstc=82997193.99af26b513a32996efda29a9b3fffe81.1586873860183.1591879083157.1591880953546.126&__hssc=82997193.4.1591880953546&__hsfp=693435645)   **WORLD SUMMIT AI WEBINARS** [worldsummit.ai/webinars](https://worldsummit.ai/webinars/)   **INSPIRED AI SERIES** Sept – Nov 2020 Online [inspired-minds.co.uk/inspired-ai](https://inspired-minds.co.uk/inspired-ai/)   **WORLD SUMMIT AI @ INSPIRED AI** 14 October 2020 Online [worldsummit.ai](https://worldsummit.ai/?__hstc=217063241.90051dd5fc8394ea768f77e7f56da493.1553087813520.1578347120674.1578394880245.512&__hssc=217063241.3.1578394880245&__hsfp=2240718579)   **WORLD AI WEEK** 12-16 October 2020 Amsterdam, Netherlands [worldaiweek.ai](https://worldaiweek.ai/)   **INTELLIGENT HEALTH UK** 3-4 March 2021 London, UK [london.intelligenthealth.ai](https://london.intelligenthealth.ai/?__hstc=82997193.99af26b513a32996efda29a9b3fffe81.1586873860183.1591879083157.1591880953546.126&__hssc=82997193.4.1591880953546&__hsfp=693435645)   **WORLD SUMMIT AI AMERICAS** 20-21 April 2021 Montreal, Canada [americas.worldsummit.ai](https://americas.worldsummit.ai/)     Topics: [AI](https://blog.intelligenthealth.ai/tag/ai), [Medicine](https://blog.intelligenthealth.ai/tag/medicine) ## Featured posts ### Posts by Tag -
