Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to transform pathology by improving diagnostic accuracy, reducing costs, and enhancing the relationship between pathology and oncology. Despite initial resistance due to unfamiliarity and concerns about job security, AI-based solutions have shown potential in academic settings. These solutions can shorten reporting times, standardize diagnostic performance, and offer prognostic information. However, challenges remain in achieving regulatory compliance and clinical acceptance. The integration of AI in pathology could benefit global healthcare, especially in regions with limited access to diagnostic services. Pathologists are encouraged to embrace AI as an adjunct tool to enhance their practice and improve patient outcomes.

Organizations are increasingly investing in cloud solutions, but much of the spending is wasted due to over-provisioning, orphaned resources, and lack of transparency. Experts suggest that a well-defined cloud strategy can help optimize costs while maintaining the benefits of digital transformation. Key strategies include focusing on innovation, ensuring a 1:1 relationship between resources required and acquired, and implementing governance models to manage cloud resources effectively. Centralizing decisions and abstracting applications from specific cloud providers can also contribute to cost savings. A comprehensive cloud cost optimization program can potentially reduce cloud costs by 30-40%.
