        abstract = {Artificial intelligence (AI) has immense potential to improve healthcare, but its successful integration requires confidence and addressing issues like ethical concerns and practical implementation problems. This paper reviews previous studies to examine these issues. The goal is to pinpoint areas needing further study and suggest future paths for AI in healthcare, focusing on human-centeredness, customization of AI for diverse demographics, and ethical considerations. Methods included reviewing thirteen peer-reviewed articles published in English-language scientific databases. The research revealed knowledge gaps regarding AI's impact on the doctor-patient relationship, the necessity of customizing AI for various demographics, and its long-term societal and individual effects. Additionally, there's a continued lack of research on practical AI ethical framework implementation and trust-building strategies. The study's conclusions highlight the need for more investigation into human-centered design, AI for diverse demographics, long-term effects, and the operationalization of AI ethical frameworks. Responsible design and assessment are crucial to fully realize AI's promise to revolutionize healthcare.I.},
