As a novel interdisciplinary field within artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) is increasingly being applied to various aspects of AP, including severity assessment, complications, recurrence rates, organ dysfunction, and the timing of surgical intervention. This review focuses on recent advancements in the application of ML models in the context of AP.
