GI Docs Will Need to Forge a ‘Human-Computer Cooperative’

Several artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are emerging that will change the management of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases sooner rather than later. One of the leading researchers working toward that AI-driven future is Ryan W. Stidham, MD, MS, associate professor of gastroenterology and computational medicine and bioinformatics at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Stidham’s work focuses on leveraging AI to develop automated systems that better quantify disease activity and aid gastroenterologists in their decision-making. He spoke with Medscape Medical News about his efforts to shape AI into a tool with practical applications in gastroenterology, what the technology may do to improve physician efficiency, and why gastroenterologists shouldn’t be worried about being replaced by machines any time soon.
