Core Tip	This systematic review highlights how artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping gastrointestinal surgery across preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative stages. By synthesizing findings from 45 original studies, the review identifies AI’s strengths in enhancing surgical precision, predicting complications, improving diagnostic accuracy, and supporting surgical education. It emphasizes that while many AI tools now match or exceed clinician performance, challenges remain in validation, integration, and interpretability. This review offers a comprehensive roadmap for clinicians and researchers seeking to responsibly implement AI in gastrointestinal surgical practice.
