The use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is spreading throughout many facets of daily life. Even though it is not yet widely used, the healthcare sector is concerned about it. The usage of AI technology in their daily work, whether directly through its application or indirectly through related medical fields like radiology, pathology, and respiratory medicine, is something that thoracic surgeons should be aware of. This article aims to examine the uses of AI in thoracic surgery and to talk about the boundaries of its use in the EU. Clinical routes will be used to build key parts of AI, starting with lung cancer diagnostics, moving on to a prognostic-aided decision-making program, robotic surgery, and concluding with the limitations of AI. This research paper explores the transformative integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in thoracic surgery, a field where precision and decision-making are paramount. It delves into the current state of AI applications in thoracic procedures, highlighting advancements in diagnostic imaging, surgical robotics, and postoperative care. The paper also projects future developments, envisioning AI's potential in enhancing surgical accuracy, patient-specific treatment, and predictive health analytics. Key challenges, including ethical considerations, data security, and algorithmic reliability, are critically examined. Through a comprehensive analysis, this paper underscores AI's role in revolutionizing thoracic surgery, offering insights into a future where technology augments human expertise to improve patient outcomes.
