A Single Typo in Your Medical Records Can Make Your AI Doctor Go Dangerously Haywire

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-17 22:00:37

A single typo, formatting error, or slang word makes an AI more likely to tell a patient they're not sick or don't need to seek medical care. That's what MIT researchers found in a June study currently awaiting peer review, which we covered previously. Even the presence of colorful or emotional language, they discovered, was enough to throw off the AI's medical advice. Now, in a new interview with the Boston Globe, study coauthor Marzyeh Ghassemi is warning about the serious harm this could ca

A woman’s supposed pregnancy turned out to be something much stranger. In a recent report from her doctors, they detail how the woman had developed an incredibly rare form of ovarian cancer that mimicked the symptoms of pregnancy, even causing a positive pregnancy test. Doctors in India described the case of mistaken identity earlier this July in the journal Oncoscience. After first suspecting the woman had an ectopic pregnancy, the doctors instead discovered a large and rare type of tumor in h

Doctors Were Worse at Spotting Cancer After Leaning on AI, Study Finds

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-11-17 10:45:32

Artificial intelligence tools have been shown to help doctors detect pre-cancerous growths in the colon—but don’t even think about taking those tools away once you’ve introduced them. A new study published this week in The Lancet found that doctors who are given AI tools to assist with identifying potential cancer risks in patients get worse at making those same observations when they go back to doing it without AI’s help. The study looked at four endoscopy centers in Poland, tracking the succe

Image by Getty / Futurism Studies For years now, AI cancer detection has been touted as being as good as or better than doctors — but given the results of a recent trial, for some doctors, AI seems to have greatly hampered their abilities instead. In a new study published in the journal The Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology, researchers led by the Medical University of Silesia in Poland found, upon surveying 19 doctors from four endoscopy practices between September 2021 and March 2022, t

When James Hicks, 75, was diagnosed with heart failure, it felt like the beginning of the end. Mr. Hicks, a former railroad worker from Rogers, Ark., had quietly dealt with various health problems, from carpal tunnel syndrome in both arms to dual knee replacements. But now his heart was giving out, and the doctors chalked it up to the wear and tear of old age. “There’s just not exactly a surgery to fix this,” he said. Soon enough, Mr. Hicks couldn’t walk from his grandson’s high school basketb

An immunocompromised woman’s cat stirred up a lot more trouble than usual (for a cat). In a recent case report, doctors detail how the feline likely spread a seldom-seen bacterial infection that landed its owner in the hospital. Doctors in Slovenia wrote the report, published in the June issue of Emerging Infectious Diseases.

Troubling Case Links Vaping to Aggressive Lung Cancer

Vaping might be safer than cigarette smoking, but they carry their own health risks. A New Jersey man’s electronic cigarette habit likely contributed to his fast-spreading, fatal lung cancer, his doctors say. Doctors at the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City detailed the tragic death this month in the American Journal of Case Reports. The 51-year-old former smoker and longtime vaper developed an aggressive lung cancer that killed him just months after diagnosis. Though a causa
