Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a disruptive technology that is currently finding widespread application after having long been confined to the domain of specialists. In urology, in particular, new fields of application are continuously emerging, which are being studied both in preclinical basic research and in clinical applications. Potential applications include image recognition in the operating room or interpreting images from radiology and pathology, the automatic measurement of urinary stones and radiotherapy. Certain medical devices, particularly in the field of AI-based predictive biomarkers, have already been incorporated into international guidelines. In addition, AI is playing an increasingly more important role in administrative tasks and is expected to lead to enormous changes, especially in the outpatient sector. For urologists, it is becoming increasingly more important to engage with this technology, to pursue appropriate training and therefore to optimally implement AI into the treatment of patients and in the management of their practices or hospitals.
