Artificial intelligence (AI) is continuing to reshape gastroenterology, particularly in the areas of early cancer detection, prevention, and endoscopic innovation.
Dr. Christina Awad sits down with Dr. Michael Wallace to discuss the evolution of AI in GI care and how these technologies are beginning to transform clinical practice. Drawing from decades of experience in advanced endoscopy and translational research, Dr. Wallace reflects on his longstanding interest in preventing gastrointestinal cancers through earlier detection and improved imaging technologies. He also shares the story behind his work developing FDA-approved AI algorithms for polyp detection and explains how data, collaboration, and clinical validation have been critical to bringing these tools into real-world patient care.
Their conversation explores both the promise and the practical realities of AI adoption in gastroenterology, including its role in improving detection, supporting physicians, streamlining workflows, and shaping the future of GI cancer prevention.
