LibGuides: Artificial Intelligence: Background

Welcome

Welcome!

Researchers are increasingly turning to computer-based systems to answer medical questions, including those related to diagnosis, treatment responses, genetic screening, and patient monitoring and care.

This guide aims to bring together resources on artificial intelligence in medicine, including publications by MSK researchers and resources available through the MSK Library. It also includes information on the use of natural language processing tools, like ChatGPT.
