Abstract
The research paper considers the transformational effects of AI and ML entailed by algorithms used on public health, with the conduction of statistical data from freely available databases. One part of the practice involves information mining from EHRs and leveraging the media for diverse health data. Nevertheless, ethical considerations that include user consent, security issues, violation of privacy, biases, and legal uncertainties, such as regulatory frameworks and accountability issues, must be critically considered. Recommendations highlight such things as the need for explainability, AI safety, and public engagement and provide ways of channeling future research to bolster both the efficacy with which AI is applied and how it remains ethical when deployed in matters concerning public health.
