MAI: A Very Short History and the State of the Art

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Ethics of Medical AI

Part of the book series: The International Library of Ethics, Law and Technology ((ELTE,volume 24))

  • 81 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter gives a short overview of the history of MAI and describes its crucial contemporary applications. The aim is not to give a complete list of technologies, but to highlight the main areas of application of MAI and to focus on its transformative power. In this chapter, I explain some of the fundamental concepts in MAI and discuss some major opportunities as well as challenges in clinical practice. I aim to provide a basic understanding of the technological aspects as a prerequisite for the ethical analysis in part II.
