    Chinese Medicine in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Development Prospects

    Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has protected the health of Chinese people for thousands of years. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), various fields of TCM are facing both opportunities and challenges. This review discusses the development prospects and challenges of Chinese medicine in the AI era, emphasizing that AI, as an important tool in the process of Chinese medicine healthcare services, can assist doctors in making objective, rational and professional treatment decisions, and that AI has a strong potential for development in the field of Chinese medicine. However, the emotions, complex thoughts, and humanistic values of doctors are qualities that AI is currently unable to realize, so as the dominant player, the doctor is indispensable to the medical process. By summarizing and analyzing the current development status of AI in diagnosis, drug research, health management and education in TCM, this paper reveals the development prospects and potential risks of combining TCM with AI, and suggests that AI is an important aid for modernizing and improving the quality of TCM medical care in a coordinated manner.
