Artificial intelligence, a computer-based concept that tries to mimic human thinking, is slowly
becoming part of the endoscopy lab. It has developed considerably since the first attempt at
developing an automated medical diagnostic tool, today being adopted in almost all medical
fields, digestive endoscopy included. The detection rate of preneoplastic lesions (ie, polyps)
during colonoscopy may be increased with artificial intelligence assistance. It has also
proven useful in detecting signs of ulcerative colitis activity. In upper digestive endoscopy …

… With the incessant advances in information technology and its implications in all domains of
our life, artificial intelligence (AI) started to emerge as a need for better machine performance.
How it can help endoscopists and what are the areas of interest in improving both diagnostic
and therapeutic … AI is a breakthrough in digestive endoscopy. Screening gastric and colonic
cancer detection should be improved especially outside of expert's centers. Prospective and
multicenter trials are mandatory before introducing new software in clinical practice …
