"AI Unmasked: How Clinicians Can Harness the Future of Medicine" is a testament to our era's technological marvels and a beacon of inspiration for clinicians everywhere. Whether you're a budding intern or a seasoned expert, this book offers a guide to navigating the dynamic interface of AI in healthcare. The idea is not to make machines our masters, but allies in a quest for superior healthcare delivery.

In the clinical sphere, AI's influence is profound. Advanced algorithms and machine learning models can now sift through vast amounts of data at astonishing speeds. This capability has made it possible for AI to assist in complex tasks such as interpreting radiological images, predicting patient deterioration, and even suggesting potential diagnoses based on patient symptoms.

For instance, ChatGPT and similar AI models can serve as handy virtual assistants. By simply inputting patient data and queries, physicians can receive immediate insights, from possible diagnoses to treatment suggestions. Such tools, while not replacements for human expertise, can offer an additional layer of consultation, particularly when dealing with unfamiliar or complex cases.

In the constantly evolving world of medicine, every decade introduces its own transformative tool, promising better patient outcomes and a smarter approach to age-old challenges. In the 90s, it was the dawn of Evidence-based Medicine, for which I was trained at Oxford University, and organised numerous workshops in different countries to help doctors feel good about not knowing everything.

Come 2023, I found myself standing at the precipice of another paradigm shift: Artificial Intelligence, with ChatGPT at its forefront.
