Overview

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being incorporated into medicine, including gastroenterology, opening new possibilities for the diagnosis and treatment of digestive tract diseases. ChatGPT, an AI model based on the GPT-4 architecture, has the potential to accelerate diagnosis and treatment, personalize care, educate, and train healthcare professionals, support decision-making, and improve communication with patients. However, with the use of AI come challenges such as the limited ability of AI to replace human judgment, data errors, issues related to security and personal data protection, and implementation costs. The future of ChatGPT in gastroenterology depends on its ability to process and analyze large amounts of data to identify patterns and create individual treatment plans. Thanks to advancements in AI and machine learning, ChatGPT is becoming more accurate and efficient, enabling faster diagnosis and treatment of gastroenterological diseases. In the field of education, ChatGPT will serve as an invaluable source of information on the latest research articles and procedures. Despite the benefits of AI in gastroenterology, it is essential to address issues of ethics, data protection, and collaboration between AI and healthcare professionals. Ensuring proper protocols and procedures will enable the safe and ethical use of AI in medicine. Although AI offers significant potential for improving the quality of care, it is necessary to address challenges associated with data protection, security, and ethics.
