HERNANDEZ LOPEZ, Iván  e  CARDENAS DIAZ, Taimi. Social impact of artificial intelligence on cataract surgery. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.2  Epub 30-Jul-2021. ISSN 1561-3070.

The study addresses the use of artificial intelligence in cataract surgery and Cuba's incorporation into this field. The purpose of artificial intelligence is to develop agents with the ability to take appropriate decisions. One of the branches of artificial intelligence is machine learning, whose aim is to train computers to draw from a set of data the decisions to be taken in response to a specific situation. One of the most common methods in machine training and learning is the development of artificial neural networks. A social explanation is provided of the effect of the visual outcomes obtained by this technology on the individual and society, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of its use.
