Core Tip The current management of biliary stricture highly dependent on multimodality diagnostic pathways to differentiate benign or malignant nature of disease process. Despite availability of multimodality diagnostic tools, precision in diagnosis remains a high-stake clinical challenge. Various artificial intelligence (AI)-based approaches like deep learning have emerged as potential tools to enhance diagnostic precision. From lesion characterization to assist in obtaining cholangioscopy or endoscopic ultrasound guided targeted biopsies, AI enhances cross-sectional imaging analysis (radiomics) has promising role. However, further evidence is required to overcome the limitations including insufficient outcome-driven validation, biases in study designs, and lack of interpretability. Hence, well designed trials, explainable AI systems, integration into existing diagnostic pathways and validation based on outcomes would help to enhance the accuracy and actual utility of AI in precision diagnosis of biliary strictures.
