Artificial intelligence unpredictably impacts radiologist performance

March 21, 2024 - Researchers from Harvard Medical School (HMS), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University have demonstrated that the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based assistive tools improves performance for some radiologists, but worsens it for others, according to a study published this week in Nature Medicine. Proponents of...
