AI augmented clinical diagnostic tools are the latest research focus in colorectal cancer (CRC) detection. While the opportunity presented by AI-enhanced CRC diagnosis is sound, this paper highlights how its effectiveness with respect to reducing CRC-related mortality and enhancing patient outcomes may be limited by the fact that patient participation remains extremely low globally. This paper builds a foundation to consider how human factors tend to contribute to low participation rates and suggests that a more nuanced socio-technical approach to the development, implementation and evaluation of AI systems that is sensitive to the psycho-social and cultural dimension of CRC may lead to tools that increase screening uptake.
