Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Clinical Research

Artificial intelligence (AI) has potential to significantly impact clinical research when it comes to research preparation and data interpretation. Development of AI tools that can help in performing literature searches, synthesizing and streamlining data collection and analysis, and formatting of study could make the clinical research process more efficient. Several of these tools have been developed and trialed and many more are being rapidly developed. This article highlights the AI applications in clinical research in gastroenterology including its impact on drug discovery and explores areas where further guidance is needed to supplement the current understanding and enhance its use.
