ABSTRACT
Artificial intelligence technologies have been used frequently in many areas of life in recent years, and the frequency of its’ use in the field of medicine is increasing. In medical pathology, which is a specialty that diagnoses diseases and directs patient management, artificial intelligence-based algorithms have started to find a place in the routine practice. With the more frequent use of these technologies, the positive and negative impacts of artificial intelligence in pathology have become open to discussion. In this review, it is aimed to summarize the routine workflow in medical pathology, to examine the concept of artificial intelligence from the perspective of pathology, to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence on pathology practice, and to assess what may await the future generations of pathologists.
