“It is an interesting dichotomy. Those with younger populations…the emerging economies….they would rather have AI access rather than no access at all. They want AI-enabled diagnostic solutions so they can bring medical care to far-flung places. But for mature markets that have larger access to infrastructure, they don’t take that access for granted. So there is resistance,” Aparna Bharadwaj, Global Leader of BCG’s Global Advantage Practice, mentioned in a web-based press briefing.
