In this issue of the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, Han et al. (2018) have made a landmark contribution to the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in dermatologic diagnosis. Although previous studies have reported that computer algorithms can successfully diagnose skin cancer from medical images with human equivalency (Esteva et al., 2017; Ferris et al., 2015; Marchetti et al., 2018; Menzies et al., 2005), Han et al. have made their computer algorithm publicly available for external testing.
