Abstract

Artificial intelligence's progress is spread on front pages of both lay and scientific journals. After Chess, after Go, before Dota2 and Starcraft, super-trained softwares have equaled or out-performed dermatologists. But what is the future of these computer programs and how will they change clinical practice for both the general practitioner and the skin specialist? It is time to ask these questions, even though the promises of these new technologies are not yet available.
