Abstrakt:	Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common forms of cancer. Therefore, diagnosing the condition early and accurately is critical for improved patient outcomes and effective treatment. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms such as support vector machine (SVM) and convolutional neural network (CNN) have demonstrated promise in medical image analysis. This paper, conducted from a systematic review perspective, aimed to determine the effectiveness of AI integration in CRC diagnosis, emphasizing accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. From a methodological perspective, articles that were included were those that had been conducted in the past decade. Also, the articles needed to have been documented in English, with databases such as Embase, PubMed, and Google Scholar used to obtain relevant research studies. Similarly, keywords were used to arrive at relevant articles. These keywords included AI, CRC, specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, efficacy, effectiveness, disease diagnosis, screening, machine learning, area under the curve (AUC), and deep learning. From the results, most scholarly studies contend that AI is superior in medical image analysis, the development of subtle patterns, and decision support. However, while deploying these algorithms, a key theme is that the collaboration between medical experts and AI systems needs to be seamless. In addition, the AI algorithms ought to be refined continuously in the current world of big data and ensure that they undergo rigorous validation to provide more informed decision-making for or against adopting those AI tools in clinical settings. In conclusion, therefore, balancing between human expertise and technological innovation is likely to pave the way for the realization of AI's full potential concerning its promising role in improving CRC diagnosis, upon which there might be significant patient outcome improvements, disease detection, and the achievement of a more effective healthcare system.
