- Abstract
This study investigates the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing real-time monitoring and prediction of public health trends. By organizing a survey with participants from the public health, data science and AI sectors, it collected insight from 80 professionals. The purpose was to test the perception of AI in monitoring events, predicting accurately, mixing data sources, giving warning signals quickly and enabling resource use and to present knowledge of challenges in using AI. Data were gathered using an online survey and looked at by descriptive statistics and one-sample t-tests with the midpoint of the Likert scale. Findings indicate a strong positive perception among professionals regarding AI's capabilities across all examined beneficial aspects (effectiveness, accuracy, timeliness, data integration impact, resource allocation benefits), with all associated hypotheses being supported. Meanwhile, it was clear that many people could see issues in implementations that discouraged more widespread adoption. By doing this research, we have highlighted the importance of AI in today’s public health surveillance and given suggestions for the best ways to improve and overcome any obstacles to integrating AI on a large scale in public health globally.
