Doctors are hopeful using artificial intelligence can be a better way to detect and prevent colon cancer. It's a combination of traditional colonoscopy and computers that can show doctors colon polyps they might otherwise miss, CBS2's Dr. Max Gomez reported Wednesday. With colon cancer on both his mother and father's side, John Gifford said he diligent about getting a colonoscopy every five years. So when his doctor offered a more accurate test -- using AI -- Gifford immediately said yes. "We're living in a tech world and so this seems like the next obvious evolution," Gifford said. The AI colonoscopy, which was developed by doctors at the University of California-Irvine, was designed to spot polyps, where all colorectal cancers begin.
