Abstract

Significant developments in colorectal cancer screening are underway and include new screening guidelines that incorporate considerations for patients aged 45 years, with unique features and new techniques at the forefront of screening. One of these new techniques is artificial intelligence which can increase adenoma detection rate and reduce the prevalence of colonic neoplasia.

Keywords: Basic concepts; Assessment of artificial intelligence in endoscopy; Current applications; Ethics; Safety challenge

Core Tip: Artificial intelligence (AI) is an integral part of endoscopy and health care in colorectal cancer screening because it has been shown to increase adenoma detection rates and reduce the prevalence of colonic neoplasia. It will soon provide an “optical biopsy” of polyps, assisting advanced therapeutic endoscopy-resection and ‘discard– no pathology present. ’Innovations in AI have changed and improved the lives of gastroenterologists by examining quality monitoring via a single integrated system. The only boundaries of AI are clinical research trials and reimbursement.
