Artificial intelligence (AI) is often described in theoretical terms, highlighting its future potential. In endocrinology, however, that future already here in many ways.

AI systems, buoyed by a growing body of promising new research, are starting to impact daily workflows. That's why it's critical for endocrinologists to understand the fundamental concepts behind the technology that is likely to become a cornerstone of their practice.

It is a mission to demystify AI and equip endocrinologists with ways to translate theoretical concepts into practical guidance that complements patient care. Breaking down key concepts from this comprehensive primer on AI and endocrinology, this video uses useful (and sometimes humorous) graphics to illustrate how AI can support clinical practice while never replacing the skilled, essential role of the endocrinologist.
