AI offers unprecedented opportunities across the continuum of our efforts to counteract AMR, yet its adoption faces substantial hurdles. Some central challenges include the balance between model accuracy and explainability, the lack of widespread digital access, quality and transparency of training datasets, and usability for clinicians. Progress will depend on multidisciplinary collaboration, robust regulatory oversight, and the development of training programs equipping future healthcare professionals with AI-aware reasoning skills. Ultimately, AI should not replace but rather augment human reasoning in the fight against AMR, aligning innovation with ethical principles to ensure safer, more equitable AI-enhanced antibiotic prescribing and antimicrobial stewardship.
