AI might worsen diagnostics for physicians

Earlier studies have also showed mixed results for Al-helped diagnosis of Gl-polyps.

Are we seeing the same effect in doctors as in programmers? Where over-trust or confidence in the tools makes us make more mistakes.

Any capability that we lose as a society is going to be hard to get back.

I understand that AI companies want to embed AI in everything and make society dependent on it. Like cigarette brands AI companies want a world addicted to their technology.

But as a society we should be more careful before throwing well known methods for fancy new tech. Even more important is to take a step back and think when AI companies are pushing for "not lose the AI race", "speed up adoption", and the rest of FOMO scaremongering.

Stop and think is what I expect from professionals even when CEOs push for AI as fast as possible.

Actually previous studies found AI augmented diagnosis of physicians. This just says that if you use it frequently you lose some of your skills. We should care only about how to make diagnosis better, not who makes it.
