As unprecedented development and growth in human social and economic systems followed the invention of the steam engine, recent emergence of artificially intelligent machines has enabled human cognitive capacity to recognize previously hidden patterns within massive data sets. These changes are influencing all aspects of society, including but not limited to our social, economic, education, health, legal and moral systems, and may have a more significant impact on human progress when compared to the mechanical revolution brought about by steam engine. Clinicians in the near future will find themselves working with information networks on huge scale, causing need to use artificial intelligence (AI) for patients’ healthcare. This paper focuses on describing the possible influences and scopes of AI-based technologies on physiotherapy practice, and the subsequent ways in which physiotherapy education will need to change in order to graduate professionals who are fit for practice in a21st-century health system.
