Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers many chances in optimizing laboratory processes, data analysis and diagnostics within medical microbiology. However, large-scale application into clinical practice is hampered by uncertainties regarding validation, regulations and practical applicability. In 2024, the NVMM AI working group has been appointed to stimulate knowledge sharing and implementation of AI within the field of medical microbiology. In this article objectives and strategy of the working group are discussed.
