Core Tip	Currently, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have several applications in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of various gastrointestinal diseases, including gastroesophageal reflux disease, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, gastrointestinal bleeding, inflammatory bowel diseases, polyps, colorectal cancer, and others. Despite their promising results, AI/ML applications in gastroenterology are hindered by several challenges, including accuracy, cost-effectiveness, cybersecurity, interpretability, oversight, and liability concerns. In this opinion review, we elaborate on these challenges and present different ways to overcome them.
