When considering the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and healthcare industry, we have seen that a myriad of problems exist today, and there are more coming down the pipe in the future. To be prepared, there are several issues that must be addressed. The first issue is also the hardest to resolve, and that is the morality of AI. Morality is a fluid topic that changes not only over time but also by who is viewing the moral issue. Therefore, it is recommended that an international organization preside over AI and what morals are being implemented into AI in the current and future state. By having an international organization, it would allow voices to be heard from all nations so that the best possible options can be decided. The reason that this issue is the hardest to resolve is a conflict between morality and legislation. Having an international organization that acts as a ruling body impedes growth and cannot keep pace with AI in numbers and advancements.

The second issue that must be addressed for a sustainable AI future in healthcare is a lack of cybersecurity within devices. Currently there is an incentive to being the first to market with new products and having those products work, and the focus is on R&D. However, ensuring that these devices are protected from outsider attacks is costly and time consuming and often done after the fact. In a similar way that the federal government provides funding to schools and other research areas, a similar alleviation of cost of security would help ensure that products are secure before reaching the market, not done afterward.

Establishing partnerships between the federal government and academia is a great way to ensure that the future of AI remains bright. These programs that develop and foster the relationship between the two must be increased in size and magnitude, or else the United States risks falling behind other countries and private corporations as the leading developer of AI.

AI is a disruptive technology that will change our lives in one way or another. By addressing issues while the developments of AI are still young, it can be ensured that AI becomes a tool that is constructive rather than being used as a weapon for destruction.
