Potential for artificial intelligence in medicine and its application to male infertility.

The third AI boom, which began in 2010, has been characterized by the rapid evolution and diversification of AI and marked by the development of key technologies such as machine learning and deep learning. AI is revolutionizing the medical field, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, surgical outcomes, and drug production.

This review includes explanations of digital transformation (DX), the history of AI, the difference between machine learning and deep learning, recent AI topics, medical AI, and AI research in male infertility.

In research on male infertility, I established an AI-based prediction model for Johnsen scores and an AI predictive model for sperm retrieval in non-obstructive azoospermia, both by no-code AI.

AI is making constant progress. It would be ideal for physicians to acquire a knowledge of AI and even create AI models. No-code AI tools have revolutionized model creation, allowing individuals to independently handle data preparation and model development. Previously a team effort, this shift empowers users to craft customized AI models solo, offering greater flexibility and control in the model creation process.
