Core Tip	Artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining onco-anaesthesia by enabling the construction of “digital twins” for cancer patients, allowing clinicians to simulate and optimize anesthetic care before the first incision. This review highlights how AI algorithms, ranging from computer vision to natural language processing, are being deployed to predict adverse events like hypotension and delirium with unprecedented accuracy. By modulating the neuroendocrine stress response and facilitating opioid-sparing strategies, AI-augmented anesthesia may improve long-term cancer survival. However, the successful integration of these tools requires rigorous validation, ethical oversight, and a commitment to explainable AI to ensure clinical trust and patient safety.
