A Present Where AI is Enhancing Laboratory Medicine, A Future Where It Redefines Healthcare.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transitioned from a technological concept to a foundational component of healthcare innovation. In laboratory medicine, it is no longer a question of whether AI will play a role, but rather how it will be responsibly integrated to amplify clinical value, operational efficiency, and equitable patient care. This article explores the current and future impact of AI across diagnostic workflows, clinical decision-making, personalized prevention strategies, and hospital governance. It also highlights the ethical, legal, and sustainability considerations critical to ensuring AI supports a smarter, fairer, and more sustainable healthcare system.
