Core Tip Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming transplantation by enhancing precision across preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative phases. Deep learning improves anatomical assessment, graft evaluation, and candidate selection, while ML-based models predict intraoperative complications and postoperative risks such as sepsis, graft dysfunction, and renal injury. AI-assisted surgical platforms and multimodal predictive systems integrating imaging, histopathology, and electronic health records further personalise decision-making, optimise recovery, and refine long-term graft monitoring. Successful clinical translation, however, hinges on rigorous validation, diverse datasets, and robust ethical and regulatory oversight.
