AI-assisted colonoscopy has received lots of attention in the last decade. Several randomised clinical trials in the previous two years showed exciting results of the improving detection rate of polyps. However, current commercial AI-assisted colonoscopy systems focus on providing visual assistance for detecting polyps during colonoscopy. There is a lack of understanding of the needs of gastroenterologists and the usability issues of these systems. This paper aims to introduce the recent development and deployment of commercial AI-assisted colonoscopy systems to the HCI community, identify gaps between the expectation of the clinicians and the capabilities of the commercial systems, and highlight some unique challenges in Australia.
