Core Tip
Core Tip: Recently, based on improvements in efficient computational power and learning capacities, various artificial intelligence applications, such as image-based diagnosis and prognosis prediction, have emerged in many fields of pathology. This review comprehensively summarizes the current status of artificial intelligence applications in gastrointestinal cancers. The present data are promising for the use of artificial intelligence to diagnose tumors, evaluate prognostic parameters, and detect biomarker/genetic alterations. However, many challenges hinder the implication of artificial intelligence models in real pathological practice. Therefore, these challenges and suggested solutions are also briefly presented to improve the accuracy and relevance of artificial intelligence in pathological practice, including in gastrointestinal cancers.
