Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in Ophthalmology: Where Are We Now?

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: The successful marriage of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of the greatest steps forward in medical research this century. The term big data, defined to encompass both large quantities and diverse types of data, was coined in the 1990s,1 and the term AI emerged even earlier: the first academic conference on AI occurred in 1956.2 However, these concepts did not become revolutionary drivers of medical research until recently, when all types of health care settings began passively collecting massive amounts of medical data.
