[Artificial intelligence in medicine-the wrong track or promise of cure?] HNO. 2019 Apr 24;: Authors: Sonntag D Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) has attained a new level of maturity in recent years and is developing into the driver of digitalization in all areas of life. AI is a cross-sectional technology with great importance for all branches of medicine employing imaging as well as text and biodata. There is no field of medicine that remains unaffected by AI, with AI-assisted clinical decision-making assuming a particularly important role. AI methods are becoming established in medial workflow management and for prediction of therapeutic success or treatment outcome. AI systems are already able to lend support to imaging-based diagnosis and patient management, but cannot suggest critical decisions. The corresponding preventive or therapeutic measures can be more rationally assessed with the help of AI, although the number of diseases covered is currently far too low for the creation of robust systems for clinical routine. Prerequisite for the comprehensive use of AI systems is appropriate training to enable physicians to decide when computer-assisted decision-making can be relied upon.
