Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping pulmonology across diagnosis, personalized therapy, telemedicine, and outcome prediction. Deep learning accelerates interpretation of CT/MRI and chest radiographs; machine-learning models using raw spirograms, questionnaires, and digital inhalers improve early detection and exacerbation forecasting. Remote patient monitoring with wearables enables pre-emptive care, while multi-omics and digital twins open paths to precision medicine. High-risk regulatory frameworks (EU AI Act) and ethical oversight ensure transparency, safety, and human control. For Moldova, phased adoption–standards, PACS/EHR integration, AI literacy, and pilots for COPD, asthma, and tuberculosis–can reduce delays and inequities. This review synthesizes methods, governance, and pragmatic steps for trustworthy, locally adapted implementation at scale.
