The introduction will focus on very high level concepts and will be free of formulae. First, we will bring some clarification on the term "artificial intelligence" (or AI for short) and give a historical overview on how AI was applied in healthcare and how this application changed over time. We also go over possible applications of AI in healthcare, and show common challenges AI systems face. Finally, we will go over some of the ways AI systems can be made understandable to humans users.
