Artificial Intelligence and Its Role in Medical Research

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a revolutionary mechanism in the field of science and technology. The role of AI in scientific research is becoming broader day by day. While AI is making processes easier and smoother, it is also raising concerns among researchers regarding its ethical utility. Besides, the decision-making process of AI remains a black box for research scholars. This review seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the utilization of AI-based tools in medical research, along with an exploration of the associated challenges. The search strategy involved querying PubMed using keywords such as “Artificial intelligence,” “machine learning,” and “medical research” to identify relevant literature. The significance of AI in research is inevitable. Researchers need to accept the fact that AI will soon be an integral part of research, at the same time, the current limitations of AI need to be alleviated so that it will be embraced by the scientific community.
