Dr Brennan Spiegel presented at the American College of Gastroenterology meeting on the concept of 'blended intelligence,' where AI assists doctors by identifying patterns in clinical data while physicians provide human judgement for diagnosis and treatment. At Cedars-Sinai, AI flagged an overlooked case of eosinophilic esophagitis during routine screening, demonstrating AI's potential to enhance, not replace, clinical practice.
