Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the science that deals with creating ‘intelligent machines’. AI has revolutionized medicine because of its application in several fields across medicine like radiology, neurology, ophthalmology, orthopedics and gastroenterology. In this review, we intend to summarize the basics of AI, the application of AI in various gastrointestinal pathologies till date as well as challenges/ problems related to the application of AI in medicine. Literature search using keywords like artificial intelligence, gastroenterology, applications, etc. were used. The literature search was done using Google Scholar, PubMed and ScienceDirect. All the relevant articles were gathered and relevant data were extracted from them. We concluded AI has achieved major feats in the past few decades. It has helped clinicians in diagnosing complex diseases, managing treatments as well as in predicting outcomes, all in all, which helps doctors from all over the globe in dispensing better healthcare services.
Highlights
BackgroundThe term artificial intelligence (AI) was coined by a computer scientist, John McCarthy in 1956
We examine the challenges involved in the applications of AI in GI medicine
A dataset of 5574 magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-Narrow-Band Imaging (NBI)) images was used. 2300 test images were analysed in 60 seconds with the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 98%, 100%, and 98.7%, respectively
Summary
BackgroundThe term artificial intelligence (AI) was coined by a computer scientist, John McCarthy in 1956. It is the science that deals with creating machines with intelligence comparable to that of a human. It is concerned with developing such modernized computer programs that have the capability to resemble and imitate an actual sapiens’ intelligence. That’s the reason why these machines are sometimes referred to as ‘intelligent machines’. A British mathematician, Alan Turing with the help of his very famous ‘Turing Test’, displayed impeccable human-like intelligent behavior by a computer [1]. Ever since it has been used in several fields. Various AI-based algorithms have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration
