ESGE Special Paper of the Month: Deskilling and AI in Healthcare (00:58:02)
Description
A special paper on AI's role in endoscopy is introduced, focusing on its significance in colonoscopy. A study presented by Krzysztof Budzyń shows that while AI can enhance adenoma detection rates, it may also lead to decreased detection rates post-implementation. The discussion highlights the need for further research on AI's effects on endoscopic skills, training methods, and the importance of patient consent regarding AI usage during procedures.
