Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) that surpasses human ability in image recognition is expected to be applied in the field of gastrointestinal endoscopes. Accordingly, its research and development (R &D) is being actively conducted. With the development of endoscopic diagnosis, there is a shortage of specialists who can perform high-precision endoscopy. We will examine whether AI with excellent image recognition ability can overcome this problem.
