| Sumario: | Background Artificial Intelligence (AI) empowers computers and machines to replicate human cognitive abilities--such as learning from experience, perceiving and reasoning about the world, tackling intricate problems, deciding under uncertainty, unleashing creativity, and functioning autonomously. Artificial intelligence is increasingly being explored in contemporary health care for its potential to assist in data analysis, pattern recognition, and clinical decision support. In homoeopathy which is fundamentally based on individualization, unbiased observation, and the physician's perceptive judgement as outlined in organon of medicine, the integration of AI raises important philosophical and ethical consideration. Objective: To examine the scope, Relevance and limitations of artificial intelligence in homeopathic practice, particularly in relation to case taking, Repertorization, and remedy selection. In the light of Hahnemannian principles. METHODS: This descriptive and conceptual article is based on an analytical review of classical homeopathic literature, Primarily the organon of medicine, along with contemporary literature on artificial intelligence in health care and medical ethics. The discussion focuses on conceptual compatibility rather than empirical validation. Discussion Artificial intelligence may assist the homeopathic physician in organizing and managing clinical data, enhancing the completeness of case records, supporting repertorial analysis, and facilitating systematic comparison of remedy profiles. However, its application remains limited in areas requiring subjective perception, evaluation of mental and emotional states, and clinical judgment. Ethical concerns such as algorithmic bias, over standardization and the potential erosion of individualization are critically addressed. Conclusion Artificial intelligence, when used judiciously and within clearly defined boundaries, may serve as a supportive analytical tool in homoeopathic practice. Its role should remain subordinate to the physician's judgment and firmly grounded in the philosophical foundations of the organon of medicine, thereby preserving the individuality of the patient and the art of homeopathic healing.
