Abstract

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence and the widespread embrace of digital technologies have ushered in a new era of clinical research and practice in hepatology. Although its potential is far from realization, these significant strides have generated new opportunities to address existing gaps in the delivery of care for patients with liver disease. In this review, we discuss how artificial intelligence and opportunities for multimodal data integration can improve the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of alcohol-associated liver disease. An emphasis is made on how these approaches will also benefit the detection and management of alcohol use disorder. Our discussion encompasses challenges and limitations, concluding with a glimpse into the promising future of these advancements.
