Core Tip

Core Tip: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) increases hepatobiliary surgeons' capability in the timely selection of appropriate patients for precise, personalized delivery of complex surgical procedures with increased safety and ease. Published studies have mainly concentrated on assessing the technical feasibility of utilizing AI, and future research needs to focus on delivering and assessing the clinical impact of these promising techniques.
