Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) application in gastroenterology has grown in the last decade and continues to evolve very rapidly. Early promising results have opened the door to explore its potential application to advanced endoscopy (AE). The aim of this review is to discuss the current state of the art and future directions of AI in AE. Current evidence suggests that AI-assisted endoscopic ultrasound models can be used in clinical practice to distinguish between benign and malignant pancreatic diseases with excellent results. AI-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography models could also be useful in identifying the papilla, predicting difficult cannulation, and differentiating between benign and malignant strictures.
