80% of Gastroenterologists Trust AI Tools for Diagnosing Colorectal Polyps, NTU Singapore Study Reveals

A study led by NTU Singapore found that gastroenterologists generally trust and accept AI medical tools. The study surveyed 165 doctors in the Asia-Pacific region, finding that 80% trust AI-powered tools for diagnosing and assessing colorectal polyps. 70% also trust AI assistance in deciding whether to remove polyps found during screening colonoscopies. The study, published in JMIR AI, found no difference in acceptance based on gender, work setting, or size of practice. However, doctors with less than 10 years of experience perceived higher risk with AI tools than their more experienced colleagues.
