Misleading title. Eroded ability to find precancerous colon polyps, not cancer. I am a gastroenterologist that consults at the local VA hospital. They started using Medtronic GI Genius AI last year across the USA. It has a very high false positive rate for true polyps so I suspect this is playing a role in this study in addition to doctors becoming overly reliant on it. Overall I think it is a promising technology once they refine the models.
