Role of Artificial Intelligence in Gastroenterology and Hepatology

Abstract

The term artificial intelligence (AI) refers to a collection of techniques designed to mimic human intelligence in some way. Gastroenterology is not an exception, as imaging is used for diagnostic purposes in various medical specialties. A number of applications of AI are available here, including the detection of polyps, the identification of their malignancy, the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection, gastritis, inflammatory bowel disease, gastric cancer, esophageal neoplasms, and pancreatic and hepatic cancers. This review will discuss the main applications of artificial intelligence in hepatology and gastroenterology, as well as their limitations.
