Abstract
In this digital age, artificial intelligence and its applications have become ubiquitous in the world around us. The practice of modern medicine driven by scientific data and evidence is an obvious target for these applications. In this chapter, we explore the history of artificial intelligence, where we are now, how to interpret current evidence generated by algorithms and how to balance the hype and potential that comes with introduction of a new standard of care.
