hysicians should view AI as a decision-support tool, not a replacement, preserving clinical judgment in decision-making.
Physicians should not blindly listen to AI, as they went to school for a reason. It should be an addition to your present intellect and knowledge on the situation, not your replacement.
the negative impacts gradually emerged and intensi-fied over subsequent months.
Over time, the AI has hurt the efficiency and work being done in the hospital. This could be due to the change in habit, but most likely due to the addition of AI specifically.
Prioritize AI for complex/high-risk cases to ensure quality, while limiting AI for routine cases to preserve efficiency.
With a plan like this, they can maintain efficiency along with accuracy of solutions as AI can be used for the more mentally taxing or demanding tasks, which allows for more doctors to focus on other tasks.
After controlling for fixed effect of requesting departments, we discovered that after the introduction of AI, the average number of chest CT reports processed daily by the CT department significantly decreased by approximately 4.3%
AI is not always necessarily a fix for a problem in the workplace, especially where people's lives are on the line.
Growing evidence indicates patient demand for such documentation to facilitate self-management and shared decision-making
Even some patients would rather have AI helping the doctor, just showing how far we have gone in trusting AI.
For instance, some studies have indicated that after collaborating with AI, the efficiency of produc-ing diagnostic reports improved by 20.7% for junior doc-tors and 18.8% for senior doctors, with less experienced junior doctors benefiting more from AI assistance (Wei et al., 2022).
Collaboration allows for growth and advancement for both the worker and the AI.
For example, AI can scan hundreds of medical images and identify potential disease risks within minutes (Ardila et al., 2019), provid-ing recommendations that are comparable to those of experts (McKinney et al., 2020), thereby directly improv-ing the overall efficiency of the healthcare system.
AI is incredibly powerful and intelligent when applied properly, able to find potential solutions to diseases without cures, which could be really useful, but also really concerning that it can do something like that so easily.
These factors may sustain efficiency-quality trade-offs in physician-AI collaboration.
Despite AI having complete access to all of the internet, it is still limited in its capabilities and access, which is where humans come in to work with AI rather than one or the other.
AI’s emergence in medicine offers potential solutions to the efficiency-quality trade-off.
AI allows for the existence of both efficiency and quality, which could drastically change health care and other components of life.
Neuroscience studies demonstrate this divergence, showing distinct brain activation patterns when patients receive identical personalized conversations from AI ver-sus human providers (Yun et al., 2021).
Another important thing to note is that AI cannot connect and interact with another person as humans can with each other.
For instance, AI demonstrates dermato-logical diagnostic accuracy through image analysis that matches or exceeds board-certified dermatologists (Leachman & Merlino, 2017).
AI can be greater and smarter than humans, but with the drawback of also making mistakes that it must learn from first to not make again.
AI’s advanced capacity to process medical data, text, images, and biological information has led to increasingly diverse and widespread healthcare applica-tions.
AI has a great ability and range of applications as it can be used for such a wide variety of things effectively, especially in healthcare.
However, most studies conceptual-ize efficiency and quality as isolated dimensions, rarely examining how AI assistance affects both dimensions simultaneously.
People are not being brought to the light about how AI is negatively affecting the workplace, as AI has been glorified as this sort of do-no-wrong type of machine that can help you do what you need to get done with no drawbacks.
Therefore, this study redirects scholarly attention from patient to physician behaviors, systematically examining AI’s effects on both workflow efficiency and clinical quality.
The topic of the article along with the effects of AI in the workplace, along with clinical quality.
What if your biggest competitive asset is not how fast AI helps you work, but how well you question what it produces?
The idea that AI isn't all-knowing, but rather we should doubt it and apply ourselves as it was made by humans after all.
Continuous engagement with AI-generated content leads workers to second-guess their instincts and over-rely on AI guidance, often without realizing it.
Continuation of my previous point that AI is simply becoming problematic as we further its use and advancement.
One recent study found that in 40 per cent of tasks, knowledge workers —those who turn information into decisions or deliverables, like writers, analysts and designers —accepted AI outputs uncriticallywith zero scrutiny.
If the workers accept the word of AI blindly, then the owners also accept the word of what the workers gave them, we will be in a world completely run by AI.
“automation bias.”
The human tendency of over-reliance or blindly rely on the word or suggestion of an automated machine.
One study found that users have a tendency to follow AI advice even when it contradicts their own judgment, resulting in a decline in confidence and autonomous decision-making.
This is concerning, as the only thing we believe we can trust, we go against constantly because a chatbot or AI tells us otherwise.
Such shifts can affect how people make decisions, calibrate trust and maintain psychological safety in AI-mediated environments.
AI is far stronger than we realize, even affecting humans on a psychological level, weakening our abilities to think critically, making us more dependent on the AI, and making us lazier.
Workers can end up deferring to AI as an authority despite its lack of lived experience, moral reasoning or contextual understanding.
Just more of automation bias, as they would take AI as authority and omnipotent.
One recent emerging studytracked professionals’ brain activity over four months and found that ChatGPT users exhibited 55 per cent less neural connectivity compared to those working unassisted. They struggled to remember the essays they just co-authored moments later, as well reduced creative engagement.
Even the act of using AI consistently is actively weakening the neural connectivity of the brain.
AI-generated outputs appear fluent and objective, they can be accepted uncritically, creating an inflated sense of confidenceand a dangerous illusion of competence.
Essentially, automation bias as we believe it blindly without thought.
Resilience has become something of a corporate buzzword, but genuine resilience can help organizations adapt to AI.
We need to resist AI in a sort of way, as if we do not, it will eventually be our downfall.
As we are starting to see, the drive for efficiency will not decide which firms are most successful; the ability to interpret and critically assess AI outputs will.
This is how to truly use AI for good in the workplace, maximizing its abilities and usage.
As researchers who study AI, psychology, human-computer interaction and ethics, we are deeply concerned with the hidden effects and consequences of AI use.
Time and time again, AI is being perceived as a potential threat to mankind. The fact that we continue to pursue it could be our downfall, the vaulting ambition of our race.
If people don’t set these defaults, tools like AI will instead.
Incredibly short yet powerful on how AI will impact the job market and the lives of workers.
Most organizational strategies focus on AI’s short-term efficiencies, such as automation, speed and cost saving.
Companies, despite using AI for many minimal tasks, are not looking at the big picture as to how AI could be applied to more difficult and advanced tasks, whether it be drug synthesis or ideas for marketing.
But in the rush to adopt AI, some organizations are overlooking the real impact it can have on workers and company culture.
AI is impacting all of us immensely, both visibly and invisibly, from taking jobs from citizens to creating new jobs for others.
