Summary
AI is transforming clinical practice across many disciplines, and emergency medicine is no exception. This special article critically reviews the historical evolution of AI, from its theoretical foundations to its current application in real-world health care settings. It discusses the different types of logical reasoning used by algorithms, the main technological tools available, and real-world examples of their implementation in emergency departments. Furthermore, the ethical, training, and environmental challenges associated with its adoption are analyzed. Finally, the article reflects on the complementary role AI can play in clinical decisionmaking, highlighting the need for close collaboration between technology and healthcare professionals to improve patient safety and care efficiency.
