Core Tip This article presents a structured overview of artificial intelligence (AI) in gastroenterology and hepatology, integrating fundamental concepts with real-world clinical applications. By aligning AI tools with each stage of the patient journey, we highlight how AI can enhance prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. We also discuss challenges related to trustworthiness, including interpretability, generalisability, and ethics. Through practical examples and original visual frameworks, this article aims to guide clinicians and researchers in understanding, evaluating, and responsibly implementing AI technologies in digestive and liver healthcare.
