**7. Conclusions**

AI is an emerging reality that could produce a paradigm shift in the management of musculoskeletal diseases, from mechanistic to predictive medicine. The different algorithms may also facilitate the acquisition and interpretation of radiological images, provide information related to surgical processes, facilitate the decisionmaking process by clinicians, or enhance patient health education. However, they still have many limitations and raise important ethical issues. An algorithm cannot replace the role of clinicians, as they must bring their knowledge, experiences, skill, and humanity to patient care. Finally, AI systems must be integrated sensibly and moderately within care processes.
