Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare and holds immense potential for the medicolegal field. It also presents significant challenges for these systems and their participants. This article overviews core AI concepts such as machine learning and large language models. It highlights current medical applications spanning clinical decision support, computer vision, robotics, and predictive analytics. AI can aid research, summarize documents, draft reports, and enhance quality and efficiency in a medicolegal practice. Limitations must be recognized and managed. Human expertise remains irreplaceable for nuanced analysis, and oversight is crucial. With thoughtful adoption, AI can augment medicolegal evaluations and enhance quality and efficiency. But human skills like critical thinking, judgment, and compassion must persist at the heart of this profoundly human profession.
