Gastroenterology and Artificial Intelligence: 4th Annual Global Artificial Intelligence Summit | August 2022-Recent Advances in AI for Esophageal and Gastric Neoplasia Live from Event

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of endoscopy. The speakers, Dr. Irving Waxman and others, highlight the potential benefits and advancements of using AI systems in detecting and diagnosing neoplastic lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. They discuss different ways in which AI can interact with endoscopists, such as providing a second read, concurrent read, or even potentially functioning independently. They also present several studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of AI-assisted detection and diagnosis compared to expert endoscopists. The studies show high sensitivity and specificity of AI systems in detecting neoplasia and accurately characterizing lesions. The speakers acknowledge potential concerns and challenges with implementing AI in endoscopy, including the risk of de-skilling endoscopists and the differences in AI systems across different regions. Overall, they believe AI has a promising future in the field of endoscopy, but further research and trials are needed to fully understand its implications and ensure its safe and effective use.
