Summary
A new study by The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology indicates that using AI to detect cancer during a particular medical procedure causes doctors to worsen their performance.
Researchers chose to concentrate on colonoscopy practices involving AI and measured how doctors performed when the technology was not being used.
The study discovered that the proficiency gap was around six percentage points when AI was not employed.
The research highlights the need to more deeply understand the impact of AI on medicine and how it can both help and hinder diagnosis and treatment.
