Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) platforms is revolutionizing the performance in managing metadata and big data. Medicine is another field where AI is spreading. However, this technological advancement is not amenable to errors or fraudulent misconducts. International organization and recently the European Union have released principles and recommendations for an appropriate use of AI in healthcare. In prenatal ultrasound diagnosis, the use of AI in daily practice is having a revolutionary impact. Notwithstanding, the diagnostic enhancement should be regulated, and AI applications should be developed to guarantee correct imaging acquisition and further postprocessing.
