    AI systems show high accuracy in detecting abnormal voices but lower performance in identifying specific laryngeal disorders.

  • 2

    Reported accuracies for distinguishing healthy from pathologic voices ranged from 88% to 99%, while specific disorder identification remained below 75%.

  • 3

    The review analyzed 88 studies evaluating AI approaches for laryngeal disorder detection, highlighting a decline in performance from detection to diagnosis.

  • 4

    Methodologic concerns included reliance on limited databases and sustained-vowel recordings, affecting the generalizability of AI performance.

  • 5

    Current evidence supports AI as a tool for screening and monitoring, but it cannot replace endoscopic assessment for specific diagnoses.
