Abstract
The integration of human and artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine has only recently
begun but it has already become obvious that intelligent systems can dramatically
improve the management of liver diseases. Big data made it possible to envisage transformative
developments of the use of AI for diagnosing, predicting prognosis and treating liver
diseases, but there is still a lot of work to do.
If we want to achieve the 21st century digital revolution, there is an urgent need for specific national and international
rules, and to adhere to bioethical parameters when collecting data. Avoiding misleading
results is essential for the effective use of AI. A crucial question is whether it
is possible to sustain, technically and morally, the process of integration between
man and machine.
We present a systematic review on the applications of AI to hepatology, highlighting
the current challenges and crucial issues related to the use of such technologies.
