Artificial Intelligence in Gastroenterology and Medicine, Health News, ET HealthWorld

We are surrounded by AI in our daily life whether it is the'Siri', 'Alexa', or the Google search engine. We have certainly come a long way from the'Turing test' in the 1950s, wherein the intelligent behaviour of computers was conceptualized leading to the present-day AI. The use of AI in Medicine (AIM) gained traction in the past decade and has met with both excitement in the scope of its use and also trepidation fearing the loss of the human element in the Art and Science of Medicine. Similar, to various subfields of Medicine the AI has its subfields of Machine learning (ML), Deep learning (DL) with Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computer Vision (CV). The use of AI in healthcare was slow to take off when compared to the non-medical commercial applications.
