Abstract

The current landscape of machine learning models in GI endoscopy is fraught with considerable variability in methodologies and quality, posing challenges for validation and generalization. To ensure the effective integration of AI in clinical practice, it is crucial to develop and validate models rigorously across diverse and representative datasets. This involves standardizing reference standards, ensuring thorough external validation, using representative patient populations, and incorporating a range of image qualities. Addressing these methodological discrepancies will enhance the reliability and robustness of AI models, thereby facilitating their adoption and improving patient care in GI endoscopy.
