Core Tip Evaluating cough for pulmonary conditions relies substantially on acoustic measurement, yet existing quantification tools remain suboptimal. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning and deep learning, offers a promising pathway for both therapeutic and preventive applications in cough medicine. Current implementations remain confined to weak AI’s predefined roles, while advances in artificial general intelligence hold the potential to overcome these adaptability constraints. Moreover, harnessing current potential requires resolving key technical, ethical, and legal issues by integrating explainable AI, multimodal hybrid approaches, and robust accountability measures within human-centered frameworks.
