Core Tip	This article proposes an artificial intelligence-powered “Prediction-Navigation-Diagnosis” framework for endoscopic ultrasound. It highlights how artificial intelligence improves preoperative risk stratification, reduces intraoperative missed detections (about 10%) via real-time navigation, and enhances diagnostic accuracy. Key challenges for clinical adoption - data heterogeneity, high costs, and unclear regulations - are summarized, with future success hinging on multimodal integration and adaptive policies.
