‘AI can sound like a doctor but not think like one’
Using artificial intelligence for some tasks may actually be contributing to heavier workloads for some physicians, according to new research from Dartmouth. AI tools can sometimes worsen doctors’ workloads by introducing errors and adding unnecessary details into their written messages to patients, according to Dartmouth’s study , which was presented on Tuesday at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics in San Diego, California. The report also suggests that physicians may actually spend more time editing AI-generated responses than it would take to write them without using AI tools.
