Core Tip This review detailed how artificial intelligence (AI) mitigates operator dependence in the endoscopic diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by comparing the sensitivity and specificity of innovative deep learning models with those of expert endoscopists. This further highlights the use of large-scale repositories, such as the National Clinical Database and Japan Endoscopy Database, for robust AI training and validation. Multimodal AI using big databases proposes a multi-institutional or multi-vendor AI strategy in Japan. Finally, we outlined future directions for real-time endoscopic support and the integration of clinical outcomes into next-generation AI-driven endoscopy.
