The Prototype: AI Tools May Degrade Doctors’ Skills

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at the risk of depending on AI to “think” for you, mass-producing satellites, helping NASA avoid space junk, and more.

Study warns doctors might lose skills after using AI

A new study found that doctors detected fewer precancerous polyps during standard colonoscopy after regularly using an artificial intelligence detection system. Researchers analyzed 1,443 non-AI colonoscopies at four endoscopy centers in Poland. The adenoma detection rate (ADR) dropped from 28.4% before AI implementation 22.4% after, a 6% absolute decrease, according to findings published in The… The post Study warns doctors might lose skills af…

Using AI support makes endoscopists lose skills, study finds

The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) to assist colonoscopies is linked to a reduction in the ability of endoscopists (health professionals who perform colonoscopies) to detect precancerous growths (adenomas) in the colon without AI assistance, according to new research.
