Bridging Artificial and Human Intelligence addresses relevant topics impacting the healthcare ecosystem and workforce, serving as a pathway to understanding the complex relationship between the medical use of AI and human intelligence. Its primary target audience is graduate students in healthcare with a foundational understanding of biomedical and health informatics principles. Designed as a textbook, it enhances their understanding and competences in leveraging AI within healthcare contexts while emphasizing the importance of human oversight. Using this text, students will gain insights into the ethical and legal considerations surrounding AI implementation, highlighting the diverse roles humans play in this evolving landscape. A secondary audience comprises clinicians, professionals and decision-makers seeking to understand both the benefits and limitations of AI.
