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

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-08-15 00:45:32

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

We can officially add Russell T Davies to the list of creative people who’ve become irritated with fans wanting updates on a particular project they’re inextricably linked to. Think George R.R. Martin and The Winds of Winter, or James Gunn and The Batman Part II. Now, the Doctor Who showrunner from 2005-2010 and again since 2023 would like you to stop asking him Doctor Who questions.

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.

While they’ll still work after that, they won’t be optimized for new games and are more vulnerable to technical exploits. NVIDIA described its 11-yea
