Core Tip
Core Tip: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as an invaluable transformative tool in diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal and liver diseases. In clinical practice AI technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and generative AI have been used in their applications. There is a need for continued development, validation, and real-world modeling of AI systems before its widespread adoption. Although it does not replace human clinical judgement, it can still be expected that AI application in gastroenterology and hepatology will further be enhanced in the future and become the standard of care in clinical practice.
