Application prospects and challenges of generative artificial intelligence in standardization of traditional Chinese medicine
In response to critical challenges in the standardization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), generative artificial intelligence (GAI) is pioneering innovative pathways for the inheritance and innovation of traditional medicine through its robust multimodal data processing and deep semantic understanding capabilities. This paper systematically reviews the current applications of GAI in key TCM domains, including healthcare services, quality enhancement, information management, and intelligent diagnosis and treatment. Through analyzing its application prospects and challenges in promoting TCM standardization, this paper aims to provide insights and references for advancing innovative developments in TCM standardization initiatives.
