The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) holds significant potential but faces practical challenges, necessitating standardized guidance. Against this backdrop, the international expert consensus titled "The Current Status and Future Prospects of Artificial Intelligence in Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery," released in 2025, has reached important agreements regarding the core value and development prospects of AI in MBS. This article aims to provide an in-depth interpretation of this consensus: Based on relevant literature evidence from 2017 to 2025, it conducts an empirical analysis of the key issues covered in the consensus, including research progress and application status of AI in surgical training and standardization, optimization of referral processes, development of prognostic prediction models, and improvement of complication risk stratification. Additionally, it delves into the challenges of AI application highlighted by the consensus, such as the risk of over-reliance, ethical concerns, and technical limitations. Through an evidence-based interpretation of the consensus statement, this article seeks to assist healthcare professionals in more accurately understanding the current application status, core value, potential risks, and future directions of AI in the field of MBS. It aims to promote the clinical comprehension and practical implementation of the consensus, advance metabolic and bariatric surgery toward precision and personalization, and ultimately benefit patients.
