Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are the latest research buzzwords
in everything from the medical and social sciences to consumer products. AI invokes
excitement and apprehension from both its potential and its unintended consequences.
For the electrophysiology community, AI is relatively familiar. Computer-generated
electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation is a rudimentary form of AI, and we are reminded
of its limits every time we correct errors in these interpretations. Advanced 3-dimensional
mapping systems use algorithms to map complex arrhythmias. Cardiac electrophysiologists
have historically relied on their analytical reasoning to use indirect and incomplete
data to identify and ablate cardiac arrhythmias with pinpoint precision. With advances
in the computational processing of large data sets, researchers are exploring whether
AI can match or exceed this analytical skill.
