Routine AI Assistance May Lead to Loss of Skills in Endoscopists, Study Shows

Share

Recent findings published by Budzyń et al. in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology indicate that the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in colonoscopy may negatively impact endoscopists' adenoma detection skills. The study conducted across four Polish centers revealed a decrease in adenoma detection rates in non-AI assisted procedures after exposure to regular AI use, suggesting potential deskilling effects. While AI has been shown to improve detection rates, this study emphasizes the urgent need for further research on its long-term impact on clinician competencies.

A New Hub for Liver Research Tackles Its First Investigations

Mount Sinai's newly launched Institute for Liver Research has funded its first two pilot projects, chosen from among 11 applications submitted by basic, translational, or clinical research teams, and awarded one-year grants of $30,000 each in hopes of generating preliminary data sufficient to stimulate broader funding and research collaborations. One project focuses on genomics and genetic sequencing of patients to determine how many and which abnormalities are linked to liver disease, while the other proposes to develop a lipid nanoparticle platform for hepatic stellate cell-specific drug delivery.
