The discussion around artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is intensifying as research shows AI may surpass doctors in diagnostic accuracy. A study by M.I.T.-Harvard revealed that radiologists often ignore AI predictions, leading to less accurate diagnoses. When AI operated independently, it achieved 92% accuracy, while physicians using AI assistance only reached 76%. The findings indicate that merely providing AI tools to doctors may not yield improvements. A recommended approach is to establish a clear division of labor, allowing AI to handle specific tasks independently while enabling doctors to concentrate on more complex cases.
The study found that when radiologists were shown A.I. predictions about the likelihood of disease, they often undervalued the A.I. input compared to their own judgment.
A.I. worked independently to diagnose patients, it achieved 92 percent accuracy, while physicians using A.I. assistance were only 76 percent accurate, barely better than the 74 percent they achieved without A.I.
