Application and development of artificial intelligence in dermatology

Artificial intelligence, known as the science and engineering of manufacturing intelligent machines, is one of the frontier science and technology that affects the development of modern society. With the progress of computer science and internet technology, artificial intelligence has gradually formed 3 main branches: cognitive computing, machine learning and deep learning. In recent years, the cooperation between artificial intelligence and medicine has been applied in many aspects, such as image recognition, assistant diagnosis, medical robots, drug research and development. Furthermore, characteristics of dermatology and advantages of artificial intelligence in image recognition make the application of artificial intelligence in dermatology become a focus nowadays. The authors summarize the application scope of artificial intelligence in dermatology, such as skin imaging, skin pathology and medical robots, analyze the current situation of artificial intelligence application in dermatology, and make prospects for the trend of development in the future. Key words: Artificial intelligence; Diagnosis, computer-assisted; Skin imaging; Skin pathology
