Artificial intelligence in Medical Parasitology between hopes and fears

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine deep learning interaction by human intellect emerged in the medical field. We aimed to overview the relevance of AI in the field of medical parasitology. Application of AI may serve the field of Parasitology in clinical diagnosis, higher education institutes, and in Parasitology research. The anticipated implementation of AI includes: 1) the serving of large-scale populations, 2) the capabilities to exploit huge data in no time, 3) the performance of autonomous calibration and experimentation, and 4) dealing with unsafe experimental tasks. Yet, fears appeared concerning the possible substitution of human abilities, the susceptibility to cyber threats, and the lack of wisdom and experience to execute decisions. Therefore, AI is determined to assist not replace Parasitologists in their profession
