Abstract

Endoscopy is an important method for diagnosing gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. In this study, we provide an overview of the advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the field of GI endoscopy over recent years, including esophagus, stomach, large intestine, and capsule endoscopy (small intestine). AI-assisted endoscopy shows high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in the detection and diagnosis of GI diseases at all levels. Hence, AI will make a breakthrough in the field of GI endoscopy in the near future. However, AI technology currently has some limitations and is still in the preclinical stages.
