AI in Medicine
Ahmad, Z., et al. (2021). "Artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, current applications and future role with special emphasis on its potential and promise in pathology: present and future impact, obstacles including costs and acceptance among pathologists, practical and philosophical considerations. A comprehensive review." Diagnostic Pathology 16(1): 24 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13000-021-01085-4 REQUEST ARTICLE
The role of Artificial intelligence (AI) which is defined as the ability of computers to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence is constantly expanding. Medicine was slow to embrace AI. However, the role of AI in medicine is rapidly expanding and promises to revolutionize patient care in the coming years. In addition, it has the ability to democratize high level medical care and make it accessible to all parts of the world.

Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence 6: 1169595 https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/artificial-intelligence/articles/10.3389/frai.2023.1169595/full REQUEST ARTICLE
This paper presents an analysis of the advantages, limitations, ethical considerations, future prospects, and practical applications of ChatGPT and artificial intelligence (AI) in the healthcare and medical domains. ChatGPT is an advanced language model that uses deep learning techniques to produce human-like responses to natural language inputs. It is part of the family of generative pre-training transformer (GPT) models developed by OpenAI and is currently one of the largest publicly available language models. ChatGPT is capable of capturing the nuances and intricacies of human language, allowing it to generate appropriate and contextually relevant responses across a broad spectrum of prompts. The potential applications of ChatGPT in the medical field range from identifying potential research topics to assisting professionals in clinical and laboratory diagnosis. Additionally, it can be used to help medical students, doctors, nurses, and all members of the healthcare fraternity to know about updates and new developments in their respective fields. The development of virtual assistants to aid patients in managing their health is another important application of ChatGPT in medicine. Despite its potential applications, the use of ChatGPT and other AI tools in medical writing also poses ethical and legal concerns. These include possible infringement of copyright laws, medico-legal complications, and the need for transparency in AI-generated content. In conclusion, ChatGPT has several potential applications in the medical and healthcare fields. However, these applications come with several limitations and ethical considerations which are presented in detail along with future prospects in medicine and healthcare.
Holzinger, A., et al. (2019). "Causability and explainability of artificial intelligence in medicine." WIREs Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery 9(4): e1312 https://wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/widm.1312 REQUEST ARTICLE
Explainable artificial intelligence (AI) is attracting much interest in medicine. Technically, the problem of explainability is as old as AI itself and classic AI represented comprehensible retraceable approaches. However, their weakness was in dealing with uncertainties of the real world. Through the introduction of probabilistic learning, applications became increasingly successful, but increasingly opaque. Explainable AI deals with the implementation of transparency and traceability of statistical black-box machine learning methods, particularly deep learning (DL). We argue that there is a need to go beyond explainable AI. To reach a level of explainable medicine we need causability. In the same way that usability encompasses measurements for the quality of use, causability encompasses measurements for the quality of explanations. In this article, we provide some necessary definitions to discriminate between explainability and causability as well as a use-case of DL interpretation and of human explanation in histopathology. The main contribution of this article is the notion of causability, which is differentiated from explainability in that causability is a property of a person, while explainability is a property of a system This article is categorized under: Fundamental Concepts of Data and Knowledge > Human Centricity and User Interaction
Kaul, V., et al. (2020). "History of artificial intelligence in medicine." Gastrointestinal Endoscopy 92(4): 807-812 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016510720344667 REQUEST ARTICLE
Artificial intelligence (AI) was first described in 1950; however, several limitations in early models prevented widespread acceptance and application to medicine. In the early 2000s, many of these limitations were overcome by the advent of deep learning. Now that AI systems are capable of analyzing complex algorithms and self-learning, we enter a new age in medicine where AI can be applied to clinical practice through risk assessment models, improving diagnostic accuracy and workflow efficiency. This article presents a brief historical perspective on the evolution of AI over the last several decades and the introduction and development of AI in medicine in recent years. A brief summary of the major applications of AI in gastroenterology and endoscopy are also presented, which are reviewed in further detail by several other articles in this issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
van der Vegt, A., et al. "Why clinical artificial intelligence is (almost) non-existent in Australian hospitals and how to fix it." Medical Journal of Australia n/a(n/a) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.5694/mja2.52195 REQUEST ARTICLE
In-hospital clinical artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses learning algorithms that use real-time electronic medical record (EMR) data to support clinicians in making treatment, prognostic or diagnostic decisions. In the United States, the implementation of hospital-based clinical AI, such as sepsis or deterioration prediction, has accelerated over the past five years,1 while in Australia, outside of digital imaging-based AI products, nearly all hospitals remain clinical AI-free zones. Some would argue this is a good thing, both prudent and sensibly cautious given the wide ranging ethical, privacy and safety concerns;2, 3 others contend our consumers are missing out on important interventions that save lives and improve care.4, 5 In this perspective article, we argue that in-hospital clinical AI excluding imaging-based products (herein referred to as “clinical AI”) can improve care and we examine what is preventing clinical AI uptake in Australia and how to start to remedy it.
The clinical use guide and associated safety scenarios support clinicians, together with their patients, in using AI safely and responsibly in patient care and are structured to support the steps of ‘before you use’, ‘while you use’ and ‘after you use’ AI tools.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how we work and the government services we provide for the people of NSW. It presents significant opportunities to enhance productivity, drive economic growth, and improve the way we live and work. While the NSW Government must be ready to embrace these opportunities, we must do so in a safe, ethical, and responsible way. Transparency about the information and approaches we use is also critical to maintaining public trust in government.
