Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Organ Transplantation
Dr. Marco V. Benavides Sánchez. Medmultilingua.com / In medicine, major breakthroughs rarely arrive overnight. More often, they emerge quietly as supportive tools that gradually reshape how decisions are made. Artificial intelligence (AI) fits firmly into this category. It does not replace clinicians, but it is beginning to transform one of the most complex areas of modern…

Insulin: The Day Science Turned Miracles into Reality
Dr. Marco V. Benavides Sánchez. Medmultilingua.com . In the winter of 1922, the pediatric diabetes ward at Toronto General Hospital bore witness to a quiet desperation. Decades before modern advances would grant humanity mastery over blood glucose, children afflicted with type 1 diabetes faced an almost inevitable fate: diabetic coma followed by death. Starvation diets—desperate…

From Code to Clinic: How AutoML Is Changing the Future of Healthcare
Dr. Marco V. Benavides Sánchez. New tools are automating the creation of artificial intelligence models, allowing more hospitals to access advanced diagnostics and predictions without needing programming experts In any hospital, a physician reviews dozens of clinical studies every day: blood tests, X-rays, medication histories. Hidden within those data could be the key to detecting…

Dr. Marco V. Benavides Sánchez. October 10, 2025, will be remembered in the history of Venezuela and Latin America as a day of profound moral and political significance. On that date, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced that the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was being awarded to María Corina Machado, leader of Venezuela’s democratic opposition, for…
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
This is how it all started…
Artificial intelligence (AI) began as a field of study at the Dartmouth conference in 1956, where a group of scientists, including John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Allen Newell, and Herbert A. Simon, proposed that “every aspect of learning or any other characteristic of intelligence can, in principle, be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it.” This meeting was instrumental in establishing the foundations and goals of AI, defining the field as an academic discipline and laying the groundwork for decades of research. Since then, AI has evolved from simple theories and models to complex systems capable of performing tasks that, until recently, were considered exclusive to the human intellect.
Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the fields of medicine, surgery, and biomedical sciences in extraordinary and diverse ways. In medicine, AI systems are improving diagnosis and personalizing treatment by analyzing large volumes of medical data and complex patterns beyond human capabilities, enabling more precise and efficient medicine. In surgery, AI-assisted robots are enabling more accurate, less invasive procedures with faster recovery times. Additionally, in biomedical sciences, AI is accelerating the research and development of new drugs by modeling biochemical simulations and predicting compound efficacy with unprecedented speed and accuracy. This impact of AI is not only transforming clinical and surgical methods, but also improving patient outcomes and optimizing resources in healthcare systems around the world.
