Significant advances in artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, and other machine-learning approaches have been made in recent years, with applications found in almost every industry, including health care. AI is capable of completing a spectrum of mundane to complex medically oriented tasks previously performed only by boarded physicians, most recently assisting with the detection of cancers difficult to find on histopathology slides. Although computers will likely not replace pathologists any time soon, properly designed AI-based tools hold great potential for increasing workflow efficiency and diagnostic accuracy in pathology.

- Digital displays are crucial for pathologists' workflows, functioning similarly to microscopes for tasks like report writing and image analysis, yet there is limited guidance on their use and standardization in the field.
- The FDA currently restricts FDA-cleared whole-slide imaging systems to specific medical-grade displays due to the lack of research on the impact of different display types on diagnostic performance.
- The review emphasizes the importance of pathologists understanding display technology and calls for more research to establish standards for digital pathology displays, especially in light of recent changes driven by the pandemic.
