Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the use of technology and computers to replicate intelligent behavior and critical thinking that is comparable to that of a human being. In this illustrative essay, artificial intelligence in medicine was discussed in general, including vocabulary and concepts as well as existing and potential applications. Psychological treatments involve the use of artificial intelligence. By giving therapists and patients real-time or almost real-time recommendations based on the patient's response to treatment, AI approaches can enhance psychotherapy. The article attempts to increase primary care physicians' awareness of and comfort with AI. Although AI has the potential to revolutionize the practice of medicine in previously unimaginable ways, many of its practical applications are still in their infancy and require further research and development. For better healthcare delivery to the general public, medical practitioners need to comprehend and familiarize themselves with these advancements.
