1. IntroductionThe field of clinical endocrinology, as well healthcare in general, is facing a transformative change by new technologies, especially artificial intelligence (AI). AI holds the promise to dramatically improve way we screen, diagnose, treat, monitor, and coach patients (1, 2). Not only will tools make flow endocrine decision-making faster more reliable, use opens personalized treatment plans tailored individual patient characteristics (3, 4). within computer science that encompasses machine learning (ML). ML uses mathematical algorithms designed predictions or classifications. These models are typically trained on known, labeled datasets iteratively enhanced gain capability accurate unseen data (5). Deep (DL), subset ML, complex mimic human central nervous system. DL entails neural networks (ANNs). ANNs consist interconnected layers pass information optimize minimizing error (6). Once trained, can process vast perform tasks such predictions, classifications, even advanced applications like large language (LLMs), vision, multimedia generation from text inputs (7-9). We anticipating an unprecedented disruption endocrinology AI. Nevertheless, most clinicians lack proper understanding potential one hand, shortcomings caveats other hand. A balanced comprehension underpinnings imperative maximize its benefits. Hence, providers must familiarize themselves with this technology but also understand limitations. Table 1 gives overview differences between AI-based conventional methods endocrinology.The aim paper give future direction domain diabetes. 2. Improved Risk AssessmentThe importance timely risk assessment well-established, significantly enhance both speed efficiency. For instance, Wändell colleagues created tool evaluate having de novo diabetes using stochastic gradient boosting model. Area under curve (AUC) was 0.773 0.825, indicating good discriminatory power (10). The important factors were identified being arterial hypertension obesity. model, adults over 30 years old Stokholm, Sweden included. No given relation ethnicity.

In another study, Nabrdalik et al. stratification MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease) Patients recruited diabetology ward hospital Zabrze, Poland. initially 80 parameters.
