A recent study indicates that AI technology in cancer detection may lead to reduced performance among doctors. In a trial involving 19 clinicians, researchers noted a 20 percent drop in detecting pre-cancerous growths following the implementation of AI in colonoscopies. This contrasts with previous studies that suggested improved detection rates with AI assistance. The study's authors highlight a potential 'deskilling' effect due to reliance on technology. Limitations exist in their observational approach, including a small sample size and unnamed AI tools used, complicating conclusions about the technology's efficacy over time.
Researchers found a 20 percent relative drop in adenoma detection rates after AI implementation, suggesting that doctors became less vigilant in their roles due to technology assistance.
Yuichi Mori noted that the differences in AI-assisted versus non-AI-assisted colonoscopy results raise questions about the methodology of previous randomized controlled trials.
