There are just as many problems for physical AI in healthcare. Previously, it was discussed about surgical robots performing on their own. Depending on the procedure being performed, this could have immediate catastrophic events for the patient; this also includes carebots. Imagine that a carebot that is responsible for ensuring the patient is okay is hit with a ransomware. Suddenly, the carebot is being held hostage unless this person pays some amount of money; this carebot will cease to function.

The key takeaway is that cybersecurity is a critical aspect of this growing AI field. Without securing AI, it puts the user, patients, and HCPs at an unnecessarily high risk. In healthcare, we see the fastest connection between a cyber threat causing issues and people's lives being at stake. While other fields may experience this as well, healthcare, due to its nature, will experience it more often and with quicker response time. It is imperative that as new designs and new innovations for this field emerge, they are designed with cybersecurity built in from day 1, rather than added on later.
