ASGE Annual Postgraduate Course: Clinical Challenges and Real-Time Decision Making in GI Endoscopy (Live and Virtual)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video discussion, panelists debate the future of radiologists and endoscopists in the context of increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostic tools. Dr. Messman raises concerns about the potential elimination of radiologists if computers take over diagnostic tasks. However, Dr. Kahn argues that AI is just another imaging modality that can extend physicians' abilities and sees it as an exciting opportunity in medicine. Similarly, the endoscopists on the panel discuss how AI can improve their skills and help identify areas for improvement. They emphasize the importance of using AI as a tool and teacher rather than a replacement for physicians. The discussion also touches on how AI can address technical challenges in performing colonoscopies. Overall, the panelists see AI as a valuable tool for enhancing and improving medical practice rather than threatening job security. The video concludes with a break before continuing with the third session. Credits: The video features various panelists and is being moderated by Dr. Messman.
