Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Gastroenterology Trainee Education

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming gastroenterology, particularly in endoscopy, which has a direct impact on trainees and their education. AI can serve as a valuable resource, providing real-time feedback and aiding in tasks like polyp detection and lesion differentiation, which are challenging for trainees. However, its implementation raises concerns about cognitive overload, overreliance, and even access disparities, which could affect training outcomes. Beyond endoscopy, AI shows promise in clinical management and interpreting diagnostic studies such as motility testing. Thoughtful adoption of AI can optimize training and prepare future trainees for the modern healthcare landscape.
