Core Tip Artificial intelligence (AI) could become an important add-on to endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided biliary drainage by supporting patient selection, pre-procedural planning, anatomical recognition, real-time procedural guidance, and adverse-event prediction. Although direct clinical evidence remains limited, AI has the potential to enhance procedural precision, reduce operator dependence, and improve training during this technically demanding procedure. Future adoption will necessitate multicenter datasets, prospective validation, explainable models, and seamless integration into the therapeutic EUS workflow.
