Abstract

Without a doubt, there is a lot of literature on the subject. That much progress has been made in terms of Artificial Intelligence in just a couple of years... as well. If we add numbers, we would say that more progress has been made than in the 50 previous years. Let us propose a name. The first one that comes to mind is mathematician Alan Turing who while philosophizing about a problem that seemed to go nowhere, ended up composed writings that would be the cornerstone of modern computer technology. The Turing test, among others, is worthy of another article in itself. Currently, we find definitions of AI in indexed journals, publications printed on paper, social media and others obtained through search engines. Google Scholar, for example, led me to a definition that I liked and that dates back to 1987. All the efforts made in order to equip the computer systems with certain capacities are grouped under the term artificial intelligence. Then, this brief article lists them: vision, recognition ... speech; human characteristics! The subject is fascinating and may even terrify you because, of course, conflicts arise parallel with developments, and potential risks are just around the corner. It is not that artificial intelligence opens a forbidden door a priori (if I may make a metaphysical analogy) but it poses a very important challenge, which is its proper development. Moreover, in the words of the Swedish philosopher and professor of the U of Oxford Nick Bostrom, there are no opportunities for rehearsals and he adds: "I do not think we have a second chance." This refers to the fact that there is only one opportunity to develop technology aligned with human values and civilization. The task of how to introduce an intelligent machine, complex concepts such as justice, kindness, and love, is already difficult, however, work is already being carried out on that. Many groups of scientists simultaneously collaborate with each other. According to the Swedish philosopher, this refers to the fact that work is being done on scalable control methods. What would Turing think of an intelligent machine? I believe his taciturn visage1 would have a great smile etched upon it. Let us leave these reflections for a moment and move on to the chronological existence of AI in the medical field
