Medical Decision-Making and Artificial Intelligence.

Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the potential role that artificial intelligence (AI) may have in medical decision-making, the pros and cons, and the limitations and biases that might be introduced when using these novel techniques. As computing becomes more powerful and models continue to grow increasingly more complex, the potential of AI to improve decision-making is increasingly promising. Within many medical fields, however, at the time of this writing (September 2023), the promise of AI is yet to translate into everyday reality. Here, we summarize the role of AI in medical decision-making (diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment).
