A Concise Manual for Healthcare Practitioners Navigating the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely anticipated to have a substantial impact on the field of medicine and the provision of healthcare in the near future. Although there is less empirical evidence supporting its medicinal application in real-world scenarios, the concept has attracted significant interest and intrigue. Given the abundance of publications, conference speeches, misleading news headlines, and study interpretations, it would be advantageous for medical professionals to possess a concise and visually enhanced reference book that can be utilised during their whole career. Medical practitioners must possess a fundamental comprehension of artificial intelligence technology in order to discern the truth, assess research that relies on both clinical validation and artificial intelligence, and acknowledge the advantages and disadvantages of this technology. The objective of this work is to provide a concise, easily comprehensible, and visually attractive source of information in light of the emergence of artificial intelligence. The content provided here encompasses a diverse range of topics that would be beneficial to any medical practitioner. This article aims to offer a forward-looking viewpoint on the utilisation of artificial intelligence (AI) in regular medical practice. It also provides a clear summary of the different levels, techniques, and distinctions among various methodologies, along with relevant examples from the medical industry.
