Link: Some doctors got worse at detecting cancer after relying on AI

A new study shows that doctors using AI frequently for cancer detection in colonoscopies perform worse when the AI assistance is removed. Their success rate dropped by about six percentage points.

The research, detailed in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology, involved medical experts from several countries including Poland, Norway, and the U.K.

Participants were drawn from four Polish endoscopy centers participating in a trial focused on AI's integration into colonoscopy procedures.

This finding is part of broader discussions on AI's role in healthcare, questioning when technology aids versus hinders medical practice.

Such concerns were highlighted by a recent report from The Verge, which discussed issues like AI potentially "hallucinating" body parts in certain models.
