The Promises and Perils of Foundation Models in Dermatology

Foundation models (FM), which are large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) models that can complete a range of tasks, represent a paradigm shift in AI. These versatile models encompass large language models, vision-language models, and multimodal models. Although these models are often trained for broad tasks, they have been applied either out of the box or after additional fine tuning to tasks in medicine, including dermatology. From addressing administrative tasks to answering dermatology questions, these models are poised to have an impact on dermatology care delivery.
