Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare by improving diagnostics, decision-making, and patient outcomes. This commentary emphasizes the need for strategic AI implementation to maximize benefits while minimizing costs. Although AI can automate routine tasks and freeing clinicians to focus more on patient care, challenges like costs and medicolegal concerns must be addressed. A two-dimensional impact-effort framework is proposed to prioritize AI tools implementation based on their impact and costs.
