“…AI is gaining more and more ground to clinical practice, as it has been documented not only by our research [4], but also that of other investigators within the same context [109]. The clinician is not required to understand how AI algorithms work but should be cautious when interpreting AI-based outcomes and decision by evaluating its source data and metrics.…”

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an umbrella term, which refers to different methods that simulate the process of human learning. As is the case with medicine in general, the field of bariatric metabolic surgery has lately been overwhelmed by evidence relevant to the applications of AI in numerous aspects of its clinical practice, including prediction of complications, effectiveness for weight loss and remission of associated medical problems, improvement of quality of life, intraoperative features, and cost-effectiveness. Current studies are highly heterogeneous regarding their datasets, as well as their metrics and benchmarking, which has a direct impact on the quality of research. For the non-familiar clinician, AI should be deemed as a novel statistical tool, which, in contradistinction to traditional statistics, draws their source data from real-world databases and registries rather than idealized cohorts of patients and is capable of managing vast amounts of data. This way, AI is supposed to support decision-making rather than substitute critical thinking or surgical skill development. As with any novelty, the clinical usefulness of AI remains to be proven and validated against established methods.

“…As it has been stressed out by Bellini et al, AI has contributed to substantial progress in decision-making, quality of care, and precision medicine, but several legal and ethical issues need to be addressed before its widespread application in clinical practice [109].…”

“…In other words, AI is gaining some control over human behaviour, and if it is not the AI itself, it is the minds behind the AI who, at the same time, may no longer feel responsible or accountable. In bariatric surgery, for example, AI could be used to assess risks, improve monitoring during surgery, and manage post-operative complications and outcomes (35). At the same time, each user runs the risk of subscribing to the technical, social and ethical norms inherent in the algorithm's definition of good vs bad, desirable vs undesirable behaviour and body weight.…”

Artifical intelligence in surgery: ethical considerations in the light of social trends in the perception of health and medicine

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine and surgery is currently predicted to be very promising. However, AI has the potential to change the doctor’s role and the doctor–patient relationship. It has the potential to support people’s desires for health, along with the potential to nudge or push people to behave in a certain way. To understand these potentials, we must see AI in the light of social developments that have brought about changes in how medicine’s role, in a given society, is understood. The trends of ‘privatisation of medicine’ and ‘public-healthisation of the private’ are proposed as a contextual backdrop to explain why AI raises ethical concerns different from those previously caused by new medical technologies, and which therefore need to be addressed specifically for AI.

Introduction and purpose:Modern medical knowledge has grown to a vastness incomprehensible for a single health professional to learn and accommodate. The usage of modern information technologies comes to help, one of them being artificial intelligence, a branch of computer science aimed at developing solutions to perform tasks similar to the human brain, but more efficient and complex, without actual human intervention. The goal of 805 this review is to provide reader with the knowledge how artificial intelligence is applied in various branches of medicine. Brief description of the state of knowledge:In the fields of infectious diseases, including COVID-19 diagnostics, radiology, dermatology and surgery, works lean toward the statement, which suspect application of AI is beneficial for medical practitioners. Programs help to develop statistical models for virus spreading and the creation of antiviral solutions. The radiological application involves the analysis of images to aid radiologists in diagnosing certain features, similarly to dermatology, where eg. AI can identify malignancy of skin nevi.In the department of surgery, predictive algorithms can help in choosing operation methods and improve outcomes.Conclusions: Usage of AI assistance in the medical field has proven to be successful, but it is yet to be commonly encountered in everyday work. Programs need to be further developed and made more approachable to users without expertise in the IT field. AI may also prove useful in the process of education of health professionals.
