Artificial intelligence (AI) is a set of theories and techniques capable of simulating human intelligence. Among AI, there are different subsets allowing to automatically classify and quantify a high amount of data.

Deep learning is the most recent and can define for itself features allowing to identify and quantify information directly from an image. Two examples of deep learning applications on image analysis in the field of dermocosmetic research will be detailed in this publication.

The artificial intelligence term was coined by John McCarthy in 1956, during a conference at Darmouth College. For many years, AI models were developed but this discipline took on its full dimension with the emergence of computer science.

The proportion of papers in the Scopus database that mention AI or AI-related keywords in the title or abstract now stands at 8%, up from 2% a decade ago, according to an analysis by Nature.

Today, many applications based on these models, such as search engines, customer service chatbots, social media recommendation algorithms, credit scoring etc. are used on a daily basis.
