Neurology education in the era of artificial intelligence

Abstract

Purpose of reviewThe practice of neurology is undergoing a paradigm shift because of advances in the field of data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. To ensure a smooth transition, physicians must have the knowledge and competence to apply these technologies in clinical practice. In this review, we describe physician perception and preparedness, as well as current state for clinical applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning in neurology. Recent findingsDigital health including artificial intelligence-based/machine learning-based technology has made significant inroads into various aspects of healthcare including neurological care. Surveys of physicians and healthcare stakeholders suggests an overall positive perception about the benefits of artificial intelligence/machine learning in clinical practice. This positive perception is tempered by concerns for lack of knowledge and limited opportunities to build competence in artificial intelligence/machine learning technology. Literature about neurologist's perception and preparedness towards artificial intelligence/ machine learning-based technology is scant. There are very few opportunities for physicians particularly neurologists to learn about artificial intelligence/machine learning-based technology. SummaryNeurologists have not been surveyed about their perception and preparedness to adopt artificial intelligence/machine learning-based technology in clinical practice. We propose development of a practical artificial intelligence/machine learning curriculum to enhance neurologists competence in these newer technologies.

The Evolving Role of Geospatial Intelligence in Enhancing Urban Security: A Review of Applications and Outcomes

“…The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is revolutionizing various fields, including medicine, public health, and agriculture Kedar & Khazanchi, 2022;Byeon, 2022;Flaxman & Vos, 2018;Dara et al, 2022). The rapid evolution of AI and ML in these domains has prompted the need for ethical guidelines and privacy protection (Jobin & Ienca, 2019;Vellido, 2018;Naik et al, 2022;Anshari et al, 2022).…”

Assessment of ChatGPT’s performance on neurology written board examination questions

“…Step One and Two, as well as advanced licensing exams such as the neurosurgical and radiology primary board examinations. [7][8][9][10] Therefore, it is reasonable to explore ChatGPT's performance on neurology board-like exam questions, which has not been reported in the literature to date.…”

“…It is therefore important to assess these AI systems’ ability to analyse and answer specialty-specific board-style exam questions. ChatGPT has already demonstrated the ability to pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step One and Two, as well as advanced licensing exams such as the neurosurgical and radiology primary board examinations 7–10. Therefore, it is reasonable to explore ChatGPT’s performance on neurology board-like exam questions, which has not been reported in the literature to date.…”

Trends in Educational Research for Sustainable Development in Postgraduate Education Programs at a University in Peru

“…As aspects of concreteness, virtual, remote, or hybrid education, educational innovation processes with ICT, digital transformation, and technological innovation find dynamizing aspects in the pedagogical models of STEAM from the recognition of interdisciplinary skills and the commitment of educational actors [82][83][84][85], education 4.0 [86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93], Big Data [94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101], Data Mining [102,103], Data Science [104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111], and Artificial Intelligence [112][113][114][115][116][117]. However, one should constantly reflect on the ethics, potentialities, and challenges of artificial intelligence in the framework of quality education [118].…”
