from Part II - Other Topics in Neuroprognostication
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2024
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to a wide range of computational methods that approximate human reasoning. Machine learning is a subclass of AI that uses predictive computer models that adjust and improve their performance after exposure to data.[1–3] Machine learning is increasingly used for various purposes, including facial recognition, financial strategy, automated vehicles, and medical applications.[2,3] While objections to AI stem both from skepticism that automation can approach human reasoning and fears of obsolescence, a basic understanding of AI methods, uses, and limitations will be increasingly important as it continues to weave itself into the fabric of our society.
What contribution can machine learning offer the field of neuroprognostication? Certainly, AI approaches hold great promise in advancing our pathophysiological understanding of neurological injury, improving the accuracy of prognostication for patients and families, and streamlining clinical workflows.
