Evaluating the pathological and clinical implications of errors made by an artificial intelligence colon biopsy screening tool by Simon Graham, Andrew Robinson, Shivam Bhanderi, Harriet Evans, David Snead, Naveen Sivakumar, Abhilasha Patel

“…Factors that protected against harm included biopsies being low-risk polyps or diagnostic features were detected in other biopsies.Conclusion Most FN errors would not result in patient harm, suggesting that even with a 7.9% case-level error rate, this AI tool might be more suitable for adoption than statistics portray.
