Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly integrated into multiple facets of society, specifically within the realm of orthopaedics. To understand its effects, we provide an overview of AI models, their presence in health care over time, current integrations, and regulations regarding AI. This overview highlights different perspectives, the variety of influences that AI currently has, and the implications for the future of orthopaedics. AI is agnostic to the outcome and will have both a positive and negative effect on the next generation of trainees, educators, practitioners, consumers, and leaders, necessitating proactive discussions about AI.
