HDR Scholarship - Adoption of AI in the Australian Healthcare System

The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Australian healthcare system is likely to face significant challenges. This is due to gaps in policy and regulation governing the adoption of AI in healthcare, poor digital infrastructure in health services to host AI applications, and possible reluctance on part of end-users to adopt AI in their routine work. These kinds of challenges are not unique to AI, nonetheless, because of AI unique characteristics, and potential to address core healthcare problems in a multi-pronged manner merits a study of its own.
