Artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly evolved in thyroid disease research, expanding from diagnosis to comprehensive management strategies over the past three decades. A systematic review highlights AI's advancements in image analysis, pathology, and personalized treatment. Despite impressive clinical applications, challenges remain, such as the black-box model of AI and integration into clinical workflows. Priorities for future research include cross-modal data usage and prospective trials to evaluate impact and enhance adoption in real-world settings. The study was led by Dr. Qing Lu from Huazhong University.
