An overview of artificial intelligence applications for next-generation gynaecological pathology
Abstract
With the drive to roll out digital pathology in the UK, implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools for pathology is now a possibility, bringing with it the potential to change how we work as a specialty. AI promises many benefits for working practices such as improved efficiency and consistency, financial and productivity gains and ultimately a better service for our patients. Gynaecological pathology is a diverse specialty with many potential avenues for algorithm development, yet there are relatively few nearing clinical validation compared to other pathology specialties. This article provides a summary of the current landscape of AI in pathology with a focus on applications in gynaecological pathology. We discuss the ways pathologists can be involved in algorithm development and draw on our significant experiences in a nationally funded programme for AI development and research. Finally we look to what the future might hold.
