Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning in orthopedic surgery

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines. The main goal of AI is not to replace healthcare professionals, but to enable better patient experience and better inform the clinical decision-making process to improve the safety of patients and reliability of clinicians. The main principle is based on the following assertion: computers can precisely mimic cognitive functions of human beings such as learning and problem solving.[1] The AI involves machine learning in the form of deep learning.
