Clinicians Struggle to Spot Biases in AI Diagnostic Tools, Leading to Incorrect Treatments
- AI systems can be biased, leading to inaccurate diagnoses, but clinicians may not spot this bias
- Study tested a diagnostic AI system, finding it improved clinician accuracy, especially with explanations
- But a biased AI worsened clinicians' diagnostic accuracy, even when explanations highlighted the bias
- Clinicians relied too heavily on the biased AI, choosing incorrect treatments over half the time
- More clinician training is needed on properly using AI tools and recognizing signs of bias
