Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a significant area of interest in medicine, with the potential to influence various aspects of health care. However, the real benefits of applications of AI to medicine often become obscured by the considerable attention, and hype, around its capabilities. To better understand AI's role in medicine, it is important to contextualize its development and review the stages of AI evolution that have contributed to its present state.
