The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related technologies is rapidly increasing and its application in clinical practice is a promising area of development. Artificial Intelligence can be a solution in the future as a physician's new assistant; AI-physician combinations can act like models of 'peaceful co-existence'. While it has the potential to mold many dimensions of patient care and can augment quality improvement, it cannot replace a family physician's diagnostic intelligence, empathy and relationships. Physicians need to strike a balance between these combinations for better health outcomes without increasing patients' frustration.
人工智能(AI)及相关技术的应用正在迅速增加,其在临床实践中的应用是一个很有前景的发展领域。未来,人工智能有望成为医生的新助手;人工智能与医生的结合可以像“和平共处”模式一样发挥作用。虽然它有潜力塑造患者护理的多个方面并促进质量提升,但它无法取代家庭医生的诊断智慧、同理心和医患关系。医生需要在这些结合之间取得平衡,以实现更好的健康结果,同时又不增加患者的挫败感。
