    Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy heralds a significant leap forward in managing GI disorders. AI-enabled applications, such as computer-aided detection and computer-aided diagnosis, have significantly advanced GI endoscopy, improving early detection, diagnosis and personalized treatment planning. AI algorithms have shown promise in the analysis of endoscopic data, critical in conditions with traditionally low diagnostic sensitivity, such as indeterminate biliary strictures and pancreatic cancer. Convolutional neural networks can markedly improve the diagnostic process when integrated with cholangioscopy or endoscopic ultrasound, especially in the detection of malignant biliary strictures and cholangiocarcinoma. AI's capacity to analyze complex image data and offer real-time feedback can streamline endoscopic procedures, reduce the need for invasive biopsies, and decrease associated adverse events. However, the clinical implementation of AI faces challenges, including data quality issues and the risk of overfitting, underscoring the need for further research and validation. As the technology matures, AI is poised to become an indispensable tool in the gastroenterologist's arsenal, necessitating the integration of robust, validated AI applications into routine clinical practice. Despite remarkable advances, challenges such as operator-dependent accuracy and the need for intricate examinations persist. This review delves into the transformative role of AI in enhancing endoscopic diagnostic accuracy, particularly highlighting its utility in the early detection and personalized treatment of GI diseases.
