Recent Advances in AI for Esophageal and Gastric Neoplasia Live from Event

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in endoscopy. They mention that AI systems are now approved and being used in units throughout Europe, America, and the Middle East. The speaker introduces the moderators of the session, Dr. Amrita Sethi and Dr. Tyler Berzin, and then welcomes Irving Waxman, a professor of medicine and chief of gastroenterology at Rush University, who will discuss recent advances in AI for esophageal and gastric neoplasia. Waxman explains different ways in which AI can interact with endoscopists, including providing a second read, having a concurrent read, and the future possibility of AI functioning alone. He shows various studies and examples where AI has helped detect and diagnose neoplastic lesions in the gastrointestinal tract, including gastric neoplasia, Barrett's neoplasia, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Waxman concludes by acknowledging the potential of AI in endoscopy but also brings up concerns such as de-skilling and heterogeneity of training databases that need to be considered.
