Is the use of artificial intelligence the main stage for detecting polyps during colonoscopy? (Baishideng Publishing Group)

In a recent World Journal of Gastroenterology letter, gastroenterology researchers led by Prof. Vladislav Tsukanov explore whether artificial intelligence is truly ready to take center stage in colorectal cancer screening. While AI-enhanced colonoscopy improves polyp detection accuracy and reduces miss rates, it also brings challenges—false positives, workflow disruption, and potential deskilling of endoscopists. The authors urge more robust, randomized trials to evaluate AI’s role in real-world clinical settings.
