Using AI tools can ‘deskill’ certain health workers: Study
A study of over 1,400 colonoscopies found a 20% drop in adenoma detection rates without AI after routine AI use, raising concerns about skill decline in experienced endoscopists.
- The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology journal published a study analyzing four colonoscopy centres in Poland, linking AI assistance introduced at end of 2021 to reduced unassisted adenoma detection.
- Researchers wanted to assess whether continuous AI use led to a dip in performance, as there is a lack of research on its effect on endoscopist skills in Poland.
- Endoscopists recorded 25.3% adenoma detection rate, while non-AI assisted colonoscopies saw detection drop from 28.4% to 22.4%.
- With AI introduction, a study suggests that regular AI use could potentially lead to a reduction in skills of health workers' endoscopy abilities.
- Further research must include less experienced health professionals to assess long-term AI tool use, as the study's focus on experienced endoscopists may limit generalisability.

The new study examined health workers who look for signs of bowel cancer.
Routine AI assistance may lead to loss of skills in health professionals who perform colonoscopies
The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) to assist colonoscopies is linked to a reduction in the ability of endoscopists (health professionals who perform colonoscopies) to detect precancerous growths (adenomas) in the colon without AI assistance, according to a paper published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology.
Study: endoscopists used to AI-assisted colonoscopies detected fewer precancerous growths after AI assistance was removed, compared to before AI was introduced
Joedy McCreary / MedPage Today: Study: endoscopists used to AI-assisted colonoscopies detected fewer precancerous growths after AI assistance was removed, compared to before AI was introduced — - The adenoma detection rate (ADR) in more than 1,400 non-AI assisted colonoscopies dropped 6 percentage points, from 28.4% to 22.4% …
