Pediatric bronchoscopy, with its unique anatomical and procedural challenges, is beginning to explore AI integration.

Inclusion was based on relevance to AI applications in pediatric or, when pediatric data were lacking, adult bronchoscopy. Areas of emphasis included AI\u2010driven video image analysis, navigation guidance, diagnostic decision support, and training tools, along with challenges in data annotation, bias, and generalizability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Deep learning models can identify airway anatomy on bronchoscopy video with expert\u2010level accuracy and, when integrated into simulators, improve novices' completeness, procedural structure, and speed. AI applied to chest radiographs shows high accuracy in predicting foreign body aspiration, potentially reducing unnecessary bronchoscopies. A validated pediatric bronchitis scoring tool standardizes airway inflammation assessment, supporting future AI automation. Limitations include small, single\u2010center datasets and the need for pediatric\u2010specific data to prevent bias.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>AI in pediatric bronchoscopy is at an early stage, with most evidence extrapolated from adult practice.
