  3. Your presentation should contain at least 7 slides in total, not including the title slide. You are expected to show the different slide layouts and not use the same layout for every slide.
    1. Include at least 3 slides that summarize the content from the Word document you initially created.
    2. Include at least 2 charts from the week 6 assignment. If you created more, feel free to use them. Make sure to add each chart into its own slide and provide a summary or description of it.
    3. Create an analysis slide where you explain your findings.
    4. Create one last slide requesting the board to consider funding your research. Explain why it is important and why it should be considered.
  4. You are expected to include at least two pictures within the entire slide deck. The logo and charts do not count as pictures.

  6. A theme must be applied. You are expected to customize the theme so you can match the institution’s colors and styles.

Solution:

We find ourselves in the age of the fourth industrial revolution. The new age is also called the digital revolution. Herein, humankind simply fuses various technology types. One of the contemporary forms of technology is artificial intelligence. Originally recognized in 1956, artificial intelligence has gradually evolved over the years (Graham, et al., 2019). This technology is widely adopted in numerous industries. However, the healthcare practice has been somewhat reluctant to embrace AI, especially in the field of mental health. Regardless of prevailing concerns, AI applications in healthcare are slowly increasing. Existing literature shows that there is great potential for adoption of intelligent machines and technologies in the healthcare practice.
