AbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) promises a significant transformation of health care in all medical areas, which could represent "Gutenberg moment" for medicine. The future of medical specialties came largely from human interaction and creativity, forcing physicians to evolve and use AI as a tool in patient care. AI will offer patients safety, autonomy, and access to timely medical care in hard-to-reach areas while reducing administrative burden, screen time, and professional burnout for physicians. AI will also make it possible to reduce the frequency of medical errors and improve diagnostic accuracy through the integration, analysis, and interpretation of information by algorithms and software. The safety of repetitive activities will free up time for health personnel and will enhance the doctor-patient relationship, return to personalized attention and interaction with the patient, through accompaniment, communication, empathy, and trust during illness, activities that will never be replaced by AI. It is still necessary to standardize research in the area, which allows improving the quality of scientific evidence knowing its advantages and risks, accelerating its implementation in current medical practice.
