AI-aided histology enables precise, objective evaluations of disease activity by analysing whole-slide images, facilitating accurate predictions of histologic remission (HR) in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Additionally, AI shows promise in predicting adverse outcomes and therapeutic responses, making it a promising tool for clinical practice and clinical trials. By leveraging advanced algorithms, AI enhances diagnostic accuracy, reduces assessment variability and streamlines histological workflows in clinical settings. In clinical trials, AI aids in assessing histological endpoints, enabling real-time analysis, standardising evaluations and supporting adaptive trial designs. Recent advancements are further refining AI-aided digital pathology in IBD. New developments in multimodal AI models integrating clinical, endoscopic, histologic and molecular data pave the way for a comprehensive approach to precision medicine in IBD. Automated assessment of intestinal barrier healing - a deeper level of healing beyond endoscopic and HR - shows promise for improved outcome prediction and patient management. Preliminary evidence also suggests that AI applied to colitis-associated neoplasia can aid in the detection, characterisation and molecular profiling of lesions, holding potential for enhanced dysplasia management and organ-sparing approaches. Although challenges remain in standardisation, validation through randomised controlled trials and ethical considerations.
