The character of such transformation in pain management remains yet to be determined, leaving open to what extent AI might exacerbate or resolve challenges confronting pain management. In this article, I aim to clarify what might be expected from AI in pain management on a conceptual level and proceed by problematizing the tension between, on the one hand,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">partial data<\/jats:italic>\n                    representing the range of incipient AI applications relevant to pain and, on the other hand,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">total pain<\/jats:italic>\n                    representing the core principles and concepts of pain management in palliative medicine.
