Artificial intelligence (AI) could transform the field of urology from student education through clinical procedures to writing and reporting. In this Focus issue on the applications of AI in urology, the special issue aims to invite scholars in the field of urology to discuss the wide potential uses of AI.
Its application can significantly enhance the individualization of diagnosis and treatment and lower healthcare costs. However, its prospective uses and benefits are frequently overlooked or only partially understood. Additionally, to better comprehend this technology and safeguard patients and providers, potential ethical concerns. Numerous extremely complicated non-medical processes have already been investigated, and automated process optimization is possible thanks to recent developments in computer science.
In this special issue, we invite scholars to explore the critical challenges outlined above. Topics include but are not limited to data silos and model generalization; the transition from virtual to reality; technological bottlenecks and ethical boundaries of the metaverse and digital pathology in urological surgery, the double-edged sword effect of large language models in education; how to safeguard patient data sovereignty and privacy while pursuing cost-effectiveness. We look forward to advancing the robust, safe, and visionary development of artificial intelligence in urology through these critical discussions.
