Societal implications of AI in GI

AI is evolving quickly, and it has the potential to advance medicine to optimize identification and treatment of health issues for patients. Yet in gastroenterology — as in other fields both inside and outside health care — there’s an obligation for AI developers and users to understand how to employ the technology ethically.

AI in GI: the basics

When we talk about artificial intelligence (AI) in gastroenterology, we are often talking about “smart” machines and software that can act as a secondary observer for healthcare professionals. One application is to help increase the ability to detect and diagnose suspicious lesions. But what are these different systems, and how do they work?

Why AI in GI? Why now?

For the first time, artificial intelligence (AI) has been integrated seamlessly into colonoscopy. This advancement might help endoscopists improve adenoma detection rates (ADR) which may help prevent colorectal cancer (CRC). But what does AI mean in this context, and why is it important now?
