Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is an umbrella term for machine learning and deep learning. It is where a machine takes in information from its surroundings and, from that, makes the most optimal decision appropriate to the situation.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Revolutionizing Emergency Medicine

From triage algorithms to digital twins, artificial intelligence is reshaping emergency care, delivering faster decisions, smarter workflows, and raising vital questions about trust, transparency, and regulation.
