Toxicologic pathology is transitioning from analog to digital methods. This transition seems inevitable due to a host of ongoing social and medical technological forces. Of these, artificial intelligence (AI) and in particular machine learning (ML) are globally disruptive, rapidly growing sectors of technology whose impact on the long-established field of histopathology is quickly being realized. The development of increasing numbers of algorithms, peering ever deeper into the histopathological space, has demonstrated to the scientific community that AI pathology platforms are now poised to truly impact the future of precision and personalized medicine. However, as with all great technological advances, there are implementation and adoption challenges. This review aims to define common and relevant AI and ML terminology, describe data generation and interpretation, outline current and potential future business cases, discuss validation and regulatory hurdles, and most importantly, propose how overcoming the challenges of this burgeoning technology may shape toxicologic pathology for years to come, enabling pathologists to contribute even more effectively to answering scientific questions and solving global health issues.

Physiotherapy is the trending medication for curing bone-related injuries and pain. In many cases, due to sudden jerks or accidents, the patient might suffer from severe pain. Therefore, it is the miracle medication for curing patients. The aim here is to build a framework using artificial intelligence and machine learning for providing patients with a digitalized system for physiotherapy. Even though various computer-aided assessment of physiotherapy rehabilitation exist, recent approaches for computer-aided monitoring and performance lack versatility and robustness. In the authors' approach is to come up with proposition of an application which will record patient physiotherapy exercises and also provide personalized advice based on user performance for refinement of therapy. By using OpenPose Library, the system will detect angle between the joints, and depending upon the range of motion, it will guide patients in accomplishing physiotherapy at home. It will also suggest to patients different physio-exercises. With the help of OpenPose, it is possible to render patient images or real-time video.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are a result not only of technological advances but also of the exploitation of information or data, which has led to its expansion into almost all aspects of modern life, including law and its practice. Due to the benefits of these technologies, such as efficiency, objectivity, and transparency, the trend is towards the integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the judicial system. Integration that is advocated at all levels and, today, has been achieved mostly under the implementation of tools to assist the exercise of the judiciary. The "success" of this integration has led to the creation of an automated court or an artificially intelligent judge as a futuristic proposal.

Digital disruption is redefining industries and changing the way business function. Artificial Intelligence is the future of banking as it brings the power of advanced data analytics to combat fraudulent transactions and improve compliance. Financial services are the economical backbone of any nation in the world. There are billions of financial transactions which are taking place and all this data is stored and can be considered as a gold mine of data for many different organizations. No human intelligence can dig in this amount of data to come up with something valuable. This is the reason financial organizations are employing artificial intelligence to come up with new algorithms which can change the way financial transactions are being carried out. Artificial Intelligence can complete the task in a very short period. Artificial intelligence can be used to detect frauds, identify possible attacks, and any other kind of anomalies that may be detrimental for the institution. This paper discusses the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the finance sector. Additionally, the paper will provide the necessary strategies that any banking organization can follow when digitizing its operations when implementing Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning and Cloud Computing.

AbstractWe explore the potential and practical challenges in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in cyber risk analytics, for improving organisational resilience and understanding cyber risk. The research is focused on identifying the role of AI in connected devices such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Through literature review, we identify wide ranging and creative methodologies for cyber analytics and explore the risks of deliberately influencing or disrupting behaviours to socio-technical systems. This resulted in the modelling of the connections and interdependencies between a system's edge components to both external and internal services and systems. We focus on proposals for models, infrastructures and frameworks of IoT systems found in both business reports and technical papers. We analyse this juxtaposition of related systems and technologies, in academic and industry papers published in the past 10 years. Then, we report the results of a qualitative empirical study that correlates the academic literature with key technological advances in connected devices. The work is based on grouping future and present techniques and presenting the results through a new conceptual framework. With the application of social science's grounded theory, the framework details a new process for a prototype of AI-enabled dynamic cyber risk analytics at the edge.

The 2019 manuscript by the Special Interest Group on Digital Pathology and Image Analysis of the Society of Toxicologic pathology suggested that a synergism between artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies and digital toxicologic pathology would improve the daily workflow and future impact of toxicologic pathologists globally. Now 2 years later, the authors of this review consider whether, in their opinion, there is any evidence that supports that thesis. Specifically, we consider the opportunities and challenges for applying ML (the study of computer algorithms that are able to learn from example data and extrapolate the learned information to unseen data) algorithms in toxicologic pathology and how regulatory bodies are navigating this rapidly evolving field. Although we see similarities with the “Last Mile” metaphor, the weight of evidence suggests that toxicologic pathologists should approach ML with an equal dose of skepticism and enthusiasm. There are increasing opportunities for impact in our field that leave the authors cautiously excited and optimistic. Toxicologic pathologists have the opportunity to critically evaluate ML applications with a “call-to-arms” mentality. Why should we be late adopters? There is ample evidence to encourage engagement, growth, and leadership in this field.

Since whole-slide imaging has been commercially available for over 2 decades, digital pathology has become a constantly expanding aspect of the pathology profession that will continue to significantly impact how pathologists conduct their craft. While some aspects, such as whole-slide imaging for archiving, consulting, and teaching, have gained broader acceptance, other facets such as quantitative tissue image analysis and artificial intelligence–based assessments are still met with some reservations. While most vendors in this space have focused on diagnostic applications, that is, viewing one or few slides at a time, some are developing solutions tailored more specifically to the various aspects of veterinary pathology including updated diagnostic, discovery, and research applications. This has especially advanced the use of digital pathology in toxicologic pathology and drug development, for primary reads as well as peer reviews. It is crucial that pathologists gain a deeper understanding of digital pathology and tissue image analysis technology and their applications in order to fully use these tools in a way that enhances and improves the pathologist’s assessment as well as work environment. This review focuses on an updated introduction to the basics of digital pathology and image analysis and introduces emerging topics around artificial intelligence and machine learning.

The term artificial intelligence (AI) was introduced in 1950. There have been many attempts to develop machines capable of performing cognitive and skill based tasks of anesthesiologist based on the principles of AI. These attempts have not been successful because of the complexities of anesthesia practice. Recent innovations in AI, especially machine learning, will continue to grow in importance in the years to come and will greatly revolutionize the face of anesthesia along with surgical practice, perioperative medicine practiced in clinics, and imaging interpretation. Anesthesiologists should continue to embrace this technology, stay up to date with the advances in AI, and also make genuine efforts to smoothly assimilate it in their routine practice now so that they can be the revolutionaries of their own future. We hope to see an ever-widening spectrum of the uses of AI in all fields of medical practice, and anesthesiology is not an exception. Its time our friends start visualizing the many applications of AI in their practice. Citation: Khan FH, Fazal M. Artificial intelligence--- Future of Anesthesiology!!
