Abstract: Artificial intelligence(AI)is a branch of computer science, which has been applied in various fields, and its role has been fully demonstrated. In the field of medicine, AI is changing the traditional medical model, and will become the direction of human medical development in the future. Machine learning is an important method to realize AI technology. At present, it is widely used in clinical data deep mining, imageomics feature analysis, disease prediction model building and other related aspects,and it plays an important auxiliary role in clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. In the field of Otolaryngology, there are image analysis and classification, voice signal processing,construction of various disease prediction models to assist medical decision-making. Only by recognizing and understanding the AI technology based on machine learning, and applying it in clinic, can we maximize its effect. In view of this, this paper will briefly introduce the concept of artificial intelligence and its application status in the medical field, focusing on the application progress of AI technology based on machine learning in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of Otolaryngology related diseases, so as to provide reference for otolaryngologists in clinical diagnosis and treatment

Key words: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Otolaryngology
