Some doctors got worse at detecting cancer after relying on AI
A new study in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology shows that doctors who lean on AI to detect cancer during colonoscopies perform about six percentage points worse when AI is switched off. Researchers from four Polish clinics (part of an international team spanning Poland, Norway, Sweden, the U.K. and Japan) found continuous AI use can lead to “de-skilling.” The findings raise fresh questions about the balance between AI support and clinician expertise in healthcare.
