Abstract

Objective: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly applied in various fields of science and technology. In line with the current research, medicine involves an increasing number of artificial intelligence technologies. The introduction of rapid AI can lead to positive and negative effects. This is a multilateral analytical literature review aimed at identifying the main branches and trends in the use of using artificial intelligence in medical technologies. Methods: The total number of literature sources reviewed is n = 89, and they are analyzed based on the literature reporting evidence-based guideline PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) for a systematic review. Results: As a result, from the initially selected 198 references, 155 references were obtained from the databases and the remaining 43 sources were found on open internet as direct links to publications. Finally, 89 literature sources were evaluated after exclusion of unsuitable references based on the duplicated and generalized information without focusing on the users. Conclusions: This article is identifying the current state of artificial intelligence in medicine and prospects for future use. The findings of this review will be useful for healthcare and AI professionals for improving the circulation and use of medical AI from design to implementation stage.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Other regulated AI medical technologies, such as radiology image analysis or diagnosis, are trained on domain-specific medical data for targeted uses.

    “While other regulated AI medical technologies, such as radiology image analysis177 or diagnosis,178 are trained on domain-specific medical data for targeted uses, LLMs have broader complexity, applicability, and an ability to adapt in real time, which complicates their regulation.2,179,180”

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.
