Abstract: With the development of artificial intelligence(AI)technology in recent years, it has gradually penetrated into various fields of medicine. Further, through deep learning of big data, AI technology has increasingly been applied in some medical fields. Although the literature on AI in otolaryngology has increased rapidly over recent years, most otolaryngologists are still unfamiliar with this technology. In this study, we will briefly introduce the fundamental principles of AI, enumerate and analyze the main applications in otolaryngology, and discuss the application limitations and possible applications of AI technology in otolaryngology in the future. Through discussion of the problems above, AI technology can be more clearly understood by otolaryngologists.

Key words: Artificial intelligence, Deep Learning, Big data, Otolaryngology
