Introduction: Advancements in the performance and efficiency of computers have led to the development of Artificial Intelligence since the advent of the 1950s. The medical field was one of the firsts to seize the opportunity to incorporate these techno-logical advancements into its system. Artificially intelligent technologies were very skilfully added into everyday medical practice enhancing diagnostics and radiological capabilities, bolstering pharmaceutical processes, and revamping several other spheres of medicine. During the chaotic period of the pandemic too, it has proved to be an essential tool. Aim: For identifying sources of literature, initially google scholar database was used using broad research terms that were aligned to the topic and research question. More focussed terms were identified and were utilised with the __ampersandsignlsquo;and__ampersandsignrsquo; command to perform a database search in Pubmed and Science direct. Cross-references were identified from the articles. Articles were scrutinized for content and summarized to discuss the utility of this technology in specific areas of medicine and its potential for the future. Conclusion: Artificial Intelligence has already been forayed into the field of medicine. It has exhibited immense potential in interpreting large amounts of data, deriving breathtaking algorithms, offering pragmatic and cost-effective approaches for prevention, diagnosis and treatment in almost all fields of medicine.
