Core Tip Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming hepatology by improving disease detection, prognostication, and treatment planning. Machine learning and deep learning models outperform traditional tools by integrating imaging, laboratory, histological, and clinical data. However, challenges, including dataset bias, lack of interpretability, and limited prospective validation, still hinder routine clinical use. This review outlines current applications, limitations, and future directions, highlighting how AI could support more precise, equitable, and personalized liver care.
