Could AI in Medicine Weaken Physicians’ Skills?

Objective:

To examine the impact of routine AI use in clinical care on physicians' skills and expertise.

Key Findings:

• Include specific statistics from studies, such as the adenoma detection rates (28.4% to 22.4%) and error rates (12% to 15%) for clarity.

Interpretation:

Clarify the potential risks of AI on independent judgment and skill retention, especially in high-pressure situations.

Limitations:

• Discuss the implications of the limited evidence base and the focus outside oncology more thoroughly.

Conclusion:

Emphasize the urgency of embedding AI literacy and regulatory safeguards to preserve clinical expertise.
