Abstract
AI is the latest technologic trend that likely will have a huge impact in medicine. AI's potential lies in its ability to process large volumes of data and perform complex pattern analyses. The ICU is an area of medicine that is particularly conducive to AI applications. Much AI ICU research currently is focused on improving high volumes of data on high-risk patients and making clinical workflow more efficient. Emerging topics of AI medicine in the ICU include AI sensors, sepsis prediction, AI in the NICU or SICU, and the legal role of AI in medicine. This review will cover the current applications of AI medicine in the ICU, potential pitfalls, and other AI medicine-related topics relevant for the ICU.
