Artificial Intelligence for Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine in the 21st Century.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming regional anesthesiology and pain medicine through enhancements in clinical care and education. AI offers the ability to predict clinical outcomes, streamline care, and improve safety. The application of AI to image interpretation may enhance the accuracy and safety of regional anesthesiology procedures. AI concurrently offers personalized educational content and learner assessment tools. However, significant limitations exist, including data security concerns, accuracy, and biases from limited or even flawed training data. The future of AI in anesthesiology requires active involvement from anesthesiologists to guide its development and use, thus ensuring ethical and appropriate implementation.
