Dear Colleagues,

The field of dermatopathology has seen burgeoning interest in artificial intelligence (AI), as demonstrated by a five-fold spike in published articles pertaining to the topic since 2020 (PubMed). The COVID-19 era expedited the use of digitized microscopy. Moreover, the use of AI has recently been approved in the United States and Europe to help diagnose breast and prostate cancers. Although there remain several translational challenges to incorporating AI into everyday practice, the field is advancing. The use of AI has been shown to facilitate several aspects of dermatopathology, from diagnosis to education to research endeavors. We would like to use this Special Issue, which we expect to be diverse and enlightening, to highlight the use of artificial intelligence in dermatopathology.
