Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

There’s a question that geriatricians have been trying to answer for decades with inadequate tools: how do you know how much pain someone is in when they can no longer tell you?

A patient with advanced dementia clenches their fists. A woman stops eating for no apparent reason. An eighty-year-old man suddenly refuses to walk. Behind each of these behaviors there may be pain, but silent pain is, by definition, the most difficult to treat. For a long time, medicine relied almost exclusively on the patient’s words to assess their feelings. Today, artificial intelligence is opening a door that no one expected to find so soon.

From its earliest conceptual roots in the mid‑20th century, artificial intelligence emerged from the ambition to build machines capable of reasoning, learning, and adapting. Early pioneers explored symbolic logic and simple computational models, laying the groundwork for systems that could mimic fragments of human cognition. As research expanded, AI evolved from rule‑based programs into powerful learning architectures capable of processing vast datasets and uncovering complex patterns. This steady progression transformed AI from a theoretical curiosity into a driving force of scientific and technological innovation, reshaping fields such as medicine, biology, and global health with unprecedented speed and impact
