The term artificial intelligence (AI) was coined in 1956 and first introduced into medicine in the 1970s. Throughout the years, there have been advances in medicine due to AI but it was not until the 1990s that we truly saw it integrated into anesthesia. Over the last several years, the use of AI has proliferated within the world and healthcare. It has the potential to improve patient outcomes but if not understood or used properly, it has inherent risks that could create negative consequences. We need to understand the origins of artificial intelligence, how it is used in the perioperative setting, and consider the capability it has to advance the anesthesia care we provide.
