However, the application of AI in scientific research has both positive and negative aspects. In maternal and neonatal studies, AI algorithms are able to identify complicated patterns and predict the risks of occurrences such as preeclampsia or neonatal sepsis. However, no predictive model or computer program has the ability to replace clinical expertise, experience, or emotional understanding. The issues of ethics and law, which relate to aspects such as data privacy, accountability, and bias, should be addressed. The issue addressed in this editorial pertains to adopting a balanced perspective regarding the use of AI in scientific research. https://jimpc.ssu.ac.ir/article_475_5ef0b4eba35ab2d6180b0bca7e46b6f9.pdf
