Artificial Intelligence

Recent advancements in publicly available artificial intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs) have piqued the interest of the medical community. LLMs are ‘trained’ using massive datasets and can generate natural language text in response to free-text inputs. Conversational agents (chatbots), such as Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT; OpenAI), Microsoft’s Bing AI (Microsoft Corporation), and Google […]

The term ‘artificial intelligence’ was coined by a group of scientists during a workshop known as the “Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence” in 1956.1 The concept was based on the idea that “intelligent human behavior consisted in processes that could be formalized and reproduced in machine”.1 The subfield of machine learning (ML) aims to train […]

Article highlights Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a powerful way of analysing a large amount of data, extracting those features characterizing a given disease or condition. AI-based models have been largely tested in the main retinopathies, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and myopia. AI algorithms have been highly effective in screening for retinopathies. The same […]

Data that can be collected and interpreted by machine learning can be extremely helpful for identifying postoperative complication risks, according to Dr Mark Packer (Packer Research Associates, Inc., Boulder, CA, USA). Dr Packer talks to touchOPHTHALMOLOGY about the potential of this emerging technology in cataract surgery. The presentation entitled ‘Predicting Vision Outcomes in Cataract Surgery […]

Artificial intelligence has huge potential to help cataract surgeons in the area of patient selection. Dr Mark Packer (Packer Research Associates, Inc., Boulder, CA, USA) gave us his insight into how machine learning can be applied in cataract treatment, to improve patient outcomes. The presentation entitled ‘Predicting Vision Outcomes in Cataract Surgery with Machine Learning’ […]

It was a pleasure to speak with Paisan Ruamviboonsuk (Rajavithi Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand) about his views on artificial intelligence in ophthalmology, specifically for diagnosis and screening for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. Questions Could you give us a brief overview of your research in artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology? (00:18) What is the potential of AI in […]
