Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly significant in neurosurgery, enhancing differential diagnosis, preoperative evaluation, and surgical precision. A recent study in World Neurosurgery evaluated AI's role in aneurysm detection, comparing conventional computed tomography angiography images with AI analysis. AI identified 33 potential aneurysms, with 16 confirmed by radiologists, demonstrating a sensitivity of 36%, specificity of 97.6%, and a negative predictive value of 96.2%. ⋯ However, sensitivity for smaller aneurysms remained lower, indicating the need for further research. In conclusion, AI integration in aneurysm detection and management enhances diagnostic accuracy and precision. While current AI technologies show significant strengths, ongoing research is essential to address limitations and fully realize AI's potential in neurosurgery.
