The exponential growth of artificial intelligence (AI) has fascinated its application in various fields and so in the field of healthcare. Technological advancements in theories and learning algorithms and the availability of processing through huge datasets have created a breakthrough in the medical field with computing systems. AI can potentially drive clinicians and practitioners with appropriate decisions in managing cases and reaching a diagnosis, so its application is extensively spread in the medical field. Thus, computerized algorithms have made predictions so simple and accurate. This is because AI can proffer information accurately even to many patients. Furthermore, the subsets of AI, namely, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) methods, have aided in detecting complex patterns from huge datasets and using such patterns in making predictions. Despite numerous challenges, AI implementation in obstetrics and gynecology is found to have a spellbound development. Therefore, this review propounds exploring the implementation of AI in obstetrics and gynecology to improve the outcomes and clinical experience. In that context, the evolution and progress of AI, the role of AI in ultrasound diagnosis in distinct phases of pregnancy, clinical benefits, preterm birth postpartum period, and applications of AI in gynecology are elucidated in this review with future recommendations.
