Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize eating disorder research, treatment, and practice by assisting with complex problems such as predicting illness prognosis, supporting diagnostic decisions, tailoring treatment plans, and even data analysis and study design choices. Yet, research on the applications of AI in eating disorders remains limited. This editorial discusses the importance of AI, explores practical applications, and outlines key directions for future research. To accelerate progress, the International Journal of Eating Disorders will publish a special issue on AI in this context, anticipated in December 2025.
