This book provides an overview of the role of AI in medicine and more generally of issues at
the intersection of mathematics informatics and medicine. It is intended for AI experts
offering them a valuable retrospective and a global vision for the future as well as for
non-experts who are curious about this timely and important subject. Its goal is to provide
clear objective and reasonable information on the issues covered avoiding any fantasies that
the topic AI might evoke. In addition the book seeks to provide a broad kaleidoscopic
perspective rather than deep technical details.
