Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerged shortly after World War II with the development of the Turing test. The term was first coined by mathematician John McCarthy in 1955. It is a field of science based on computers and machines that can simulate intelligent behavior, including reasoning, learning, and acting in contexts usually requiring humans or involving data whose scale exceeds what humans can analyze. In recent years, artificial intelligence has experienced an exponential growth. The number of scientific publications on this subject tripled from 6,851 in 2000 to 51,085 in 2018. Since 2005, China has held the lead in the number of publications in the area; Chinese researchers published 25% of all publications in the area in the 2014–2018 period, followed by researchers from the USA, who participated in 15%. India has been in the third position since 2013. AI has proven to be very useful in different areas of science, such as diagnosis, imaging, histopathology, and surgery, as well as in writing and scientific publications [1, 2].
