Study of 16,641 clinical decisions: wrong AI advice hurts doctors more than right advice helps
ValerioCapraro · x · 2026-11-16
A new analysis of 16,641 clinical decisions finds a disturbing asymmetry: wrong AI advice damages doctors' judgment more than correct advice improves it. Doctors interpreting MRI scans, ECGs, X-rays and endoscopy videos first assessed cases independently, then viewed AI support and could revise. When the AI was wrong, physicians often abandoned their correct initial judgments, net-harming overall accuracy — a key design lesson for medical AI assistance.
