New paper examines potential power and pitfalls of harnessing artificial intelligence for sleep medicine.

A new research commentary by the Artificial Intelligence in Sleep Medicine Committee of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of sleep medicine. The committee highlights three critical areas where AI can revolutionize care: clinical applications, lifestyle management, and population health. However, the paper also warns about the challenges and pitfalls of integrating AI into sleep medicine, including issues of data privacy, security, accuracy, and potential biases. The authors emphasize that AI should complement, not replace, the expertise of sleep medicine professionals, and call for comprehensive validation and standardization protocols to ensure the responsible and ethical implementation of AI technologies in healthcare.
