Future of Artificial Intelligence—Machine Learning Trends in Pathology and Medicine
Open accessAbstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming the field of medicine. Health care organizations are now starting to establish management strategies for integrating such platforms (AI-ML toolsets) that leverage the computational power of advanced algorithms to analyze data and to provide better insights that ultimately translate to enhanced clinical decision-making and improved patient outcomes. Emerging AI-ML platforms and trends in pathology and medicine are reshaping the field by offering innovative solutions to enhance diagnostic accuracy, operational workflows, clinical decision support, and clinical outcomes. These tools are also increasingly valuable in pathology research in which they contribute to automated image analysis, biomarker discovery, drug development, clinical trials, and productive analytics. Other related trends include the adoption of ML operations for managing models in clinical settings, the application of multimodal and multiagent AI to utilize diverse data sources, expedited translational research, and virtualized education for training and simulation. As the final chapter of our AI educational series, this review article delves into the current adoption, future directions, and transformative potential of AI-ML platforms in pathology and medicine, discussing their applications, benefits, challenges, and future perspectives.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
