Artificial Intelligence: Deciphering the Links between Psychiatric Disorders and Neurodegenerative Disease

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is the general term used to describe technology that simulates human cognition, has taken on a prominent role in twenty-first-century clinical practice and medical research. While many medical practitioners decry our increasing reliance on machines, AI has been particularly helpful for detecting and interpreting complex patterns in extremely large datasets that would otherwise go unrecognized.

Recent advances include the development of machine learning (ML) algorithms that permit computers to learn from experience and adjust their output with no additional explicit instructions.
