The book explores barriers that prevent the further adoption of AI technologies, provides ethical considerations, and investigates the future role AI is expected to play. In addition, it includes applications of AI technology in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers (prostate, bladder, and more) and kidney stones, and in both adult and pediatric care. This is the perfect reference for researchers developing AI technologies for clinical applications and for clinicians who aim to effectively adopt AI technologies to solve clinical questions.

Dr. Andrew J. Hung is an expert in robotic, laparoscopic, and traditional open surgery for diseases of the adrenal, kidney, ureter, bladder, and prostate. He is a recognized leader in the validation and development of innovative surgical simulation technologies. To train the next generation of urologic surgeons, he developed the first-ever procedure-specific simulation for robotic surgery. Supported by both industry and the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Hung has also become a leading innovator in the development of automated performance metrics for robotic surgery. His collaboration with data scientists has harnessed machine learning algorithms to better predict robotic surgical outcomes. Dr. Hung has produced several first-author and senior-author papers on surgical assessment and training in leading journals and is a regular peer-reviewer for leading urologic journals. He currently serves as the first Consulting Editor on Artificial Intelligence for the British Journal of Urology International.
