Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models are being utilized in several clinical issues in neonatology, including necrotizing enterocolitis, retinopathy of prematurity, and now acute kidney injury (AKI) (1-5). 

AI is a “branch of computer science that develops systems capable of human-like intellectual processes to solve problems. ML, a subset of AI, uses large data sets and some human input (adding or changing parameters) to teach itself patterns and to make predictions (6)”.
