Abstract
Purpose of review: Increased incorporation of artificial intelligence in medicine has raised questions regarding how it can enhance efficiency in concert with providing accurate medical information without violating patient privacy. Pediatricians should understand the impact of AI in terms of both their daily practice and the changing landscape of the medical field.
Recent findings: Computer vision modeling and large language models have been designed for diagnostic and predictive health outcomes purposes; yet many still lack external validity and reliability. Artificial intelligence can also increase efficiency in electronic health record documentation. Despite potential benefits, legal and ethical concerns are raised with patient data that is stored and used by artificial intelligence models. More research is recommended before artificial intelligence is fully implemented into medical practice.
Summary: Utilizing artificial intelligence in medical practice and medical education as supplemental tools, rather than in replacement of traditional methods, may result in more efficient medical practice and enhanced methods of studying. Yet, there needs to be a balance such that overreliance does not result in automatic trusting of potentially misinformation. Increased oversight and regulation of artificial intelligence in medicine is crucial to ensure legal and ethical approaches that protect patient privacy.
