To date, most AI applications have focused on ulcerative colitis (UC) severity assessment, demonstrating promising results in replicating human evaluation, standardizing severity evaluation and facilitating the application of more complex scoring systems. Research into AI for Crohn's disease (CD) has lagged behind UC, due to challenges such as disease heterogeneity and transmural extension; nevertheless, significant progress has been made to automate capsule endoscopy readings for CD. Beyond the grading of disease severity, AI is also being explored for tasks such as identifying dysplastic lesions, differentiating IBD from other conditions, assessing intestinal barrier permeability, guiding treatment decisions and integrating data from multiple omics, though studies in these areas remain exploratory.

Conventional preventive strategies, including local or systemic steroid administration, esophageal stent placement, and repeated balloon dilation, are limited by side-effect concerns, procedural complexity, and suboptimal long-term outcomes.
