Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has an enormous potential to modernize the practice and education of medicine. This technology, based on algorithms which enable machines to develop high complexity reasoning processes, nowadays has applications in healthcare that, although it’s still in early stages, shows great promise for optimizing the professional practice of medical sciences. This implies benefits on prevention methods and diagnosis, as well as in novel treatments and improved prognoses for patients. A bibliographic review was carried out with the objective of presenting the general picture of AI applications in medicine and its possible role in the future. We concluded that it’s very likely that these types of instruments will take part in the daily work of every healthcare worker and, therefore, it’s important to understand their limits and advantages, seeking to integrate these auxiliary tools in the medical field in the best possible way.
