Abstract

BACKGROUND: The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to groundbreaking advancements across many scientific fields. Machine learning algorithms have enabled AI models to learn, adapt, and solve complex problems in previously unimaginable ways. Natural language processing allows these models to comprehend and respond to inquiries in a natural and humanly understandable way. We sought to investigate the application and performance of an AI chatbot in the diagnosis and management of vascular surgery patients.
