Sumario:Laboratory automation with Artificial Intelligence (AI) features have now emerged into routine diagnostic clinical use to interpret growth on agar plates. Applications are currently limited to urine samples and infection control screens, yet some of the details around the development of algorithms remain entrenched with AI development specialists and are not well understood by laboratorians. The generation of algorithms is not a trivial task and is a highly structured process, with several considerations needed to develop the appropriate data for specific intended uses. Understanding these considerations highlights the limitations of any algorithm created and informs better design practices so that algorithm objectives can be thoroughly tested prior to routine use.
