Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in healthcare, revolutionizing diagnosis, treatment, patient monitoring, and healthcare management. This research article explores the multifaceted impact of AI in the health sector, highlighting how AI applications such as machine learning, natural language processing, robotics, and predictive analytics are reshaping clinical and administrative functions. The study investigates the advantages and challenges associated with AI adoption, including improved diagnostic accuracy, cost efficiency, and enhanced patient outcomes, alongside issues such as ethical dilemmas, data privacy, and technological dependence. Through a critical review of existing literature and a qualitative research approach, the article provides insights into the present and future trajectory of AI in healthcare, emphasizing the need for ethical, regulatory, and policy frameworks to ensure responsible integration
