"AI" has become quite the buzzword of late. It's used to describe machines and programs learning to do everything from writing copy to producing artwork that is made based on a series of prompts from a user. It's got a lot of potential in the field of ophthalmology, as well.

Researchers have said that it can provide a number of different ophthalmology benefits, like predicting potential complications in cataracts surgery. It can be a tremendous help to a cataract specialist and can help make eye surgery safer for everyone.
