There has been substantial progress in artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and their medical sciences applications in the last two decades. AI-assisted programs have already been established for remote health monitoring using sensors and smartphones. A variety of AI-based prediction models are available for gastrointestinal, inflammatory, non-malignant diseases, and bowel bleeding using wireless capsule endoscopy, hepatitis-associated fibrosis using electronic medical records, and pancreatic carcinoma utilizing endoscopic ultrasounds. AI-based models may be of immense help for healthcare professionals in the identification, analysis, and decision support using endoscopic images to establish prognosis and risk assessment of patients� treatment employing multiple factors. Enough randomized clinical trials are warranted to establish the efficacy of AI-algorithms assisted and non-AI-based treatments before approval of such techniques from medical regulatory authorities. In this article, available AI approaches and AI-based prediction models for detecting gastrointestinal, hepatic, and pancreatic diseases are reviewed. The limitations of AI techniques in such diseases� prognosis, risk assessment, and decision support are discussed. © 2022 Bentham Science Publishers.
