Abstract
AI and automation in pharmacies enhance clinical care, operational efficiency, and workforce optimization, with widespread adoption in hospitals and retail chains. Key benefits include reduced medication errors, improved patient satisfaction, and increased pharmacist productivity, allowing focus on higher-value clinical roles. Challenges include high initial costs, cybersecurity concerns, and resistance to change, necessitating thoughtful planning and stakeholder engagement. Preparing pharmacy students for technology-driven environments is essential for successful AI integration and ethical oversight in pharmacy practice.
