Evaluating both AI algorithms and human users is key for safe adoption in high-stakes healthcare settings, according to an Ohio State study.
Key Details
- 1Researchers studied 462 nursing students and professionals using AI-assisted patient monitoring simulations.
- 2Accurate AI predictions improved decision making by up to 60%, but inaccurate AI caused over a 100% drop in correct decisions.
- 3Explanations and supporting data had minimal impact; participants were highly influenced by AI predictions.
- 4The study calls for simultaneous evaluation of both algorithms and clinical users in safety-critical settings.
- 5Findings appear in npj Digital Medicine (DOI: 10.1038/s41746-025-01784-y).
Why It Matters
This work highlights the risks of over-reliance on AI in clinical workflows and underscores the necessity for robust, joint evaluation protocols in radiology and other safety-critical healthcare applications, ensuring that human-AI teams can handle both good and poor system performance.
