Pdf Summary

The Artificial Intelligence Institute for Gastroenterology (AIGI) aims to integrate AI seamlessly into gastrointestinal (GI) care, improving patient outcomes and fostering innovation through advanced AI solutions. The institute focuses on education, training, curriculum development, practice operations, advocacy, and setting standards for quality and safety in GI.<br /><br />AIGI offers a comprehensive educational program including a bimonthly column on AI basics, webinars, and an ASGE AI Scholars program, a pioneering year-long mentored initiative selecting 10 scholars annually from a competitive pool (160 applicants). The program emphasizes practical projects and in-person discussions to build AI literacy among GI practitioners. Notable scholars include clinicians and researchers from leading institutions such as New York-Presbyterian, Duke University, Mayo Clinic, and the University of Pennsylvania.<br /><br />The institute hosts hands-on AI workshops at major events like DDW, covering topics like building computer vision models for polyp detection and creating retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) models for GI guidelines. Their AI in GI Summit in Washington D.C. facilitates discourse on research, regulation, and responsible AI deployment, culminating in a consensus paper scheduled for 2024. A recent ASGE AI in Practice Operations event focused on front-end and back-end office solutions for clinical practices.<br /><br />Advocacy efforts emphasize meaningful AI adoption in healthcare, with active participation in interdisciplinary panels involving organizations like AMA, AAD, AHA, and AAP to advance AI literacy, establish clinical implementation standards, and promote trustworthiness through AI model cards.<br /><br />Upcoming papers from AIGI include consensus guidelines on Clinical AI Decision Support, efficacy of computer-aided detection (CADe) for polyp detection, and AI priorities in managing inflammatory bowel disease. The institute is guided by an advisory council for 2024-2027, ensuring strategic leadership in AI-driven gastroenterology advancements.
