This review examines the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in rheumatology, focusing on its potential impact in key areas. AI, including machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), is revolutionizing diagnosis, treatment personalization, and prognosis prediction in rheumatologic diseases. Specifically, AI models based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) demonstrate significant efficacy in analyzing medical images for disease classification and severity assessment. Predictive AI models also have the ability to forecast disease trajectories and treatment responses, enabling more informed clinical decisions. The role of wearable devices and mobile applications in continuous disease monitoring is discussed, although their effectiveness varies across studies. Despite existing challenges, such as data privacy concerns and issues of model generalizability, the compelling results highlight the transformative potential of AI in rheumatologic disease management. As AI technologies continue to evolve, further research will be essential to address these challenges and fully harness the potential of AI to improve patient outcomes in rheumatology.
