Machine learning and medicine- a brief introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have advanced rapidly in recent years now the potential to change medicine. This review serves as an introduction AI it has Specific examples of past milestones particularly domain critical care are presented, including algorithms that been developed can interpret chest x-rays or predict clinical outcomes such extubation failure ICU mortality. Included is a brief general discussion what is, how made, physicians will be involved with it. Arguments then presented why likely not leave without job, expectations vs. reality, still requires human supervision, new discoveries bring challenges, cannot design itself. Far from displacing physicians, AI, if implemented well, stands poised automate repetitive tasks, make more accurate, free them up spend time patients.
