Studies show that medical specialists’ ability to detect lesions in endoscopy drops significantly when AI assistance is removed, and similar trials are underway in software engineering. Experts warn that over-reliance on AI can impair hard-won skills and call for research into ways to preserve human expertise.
- Polish endoscopy specialists' adenoma-detection rate dropped from 28.4% to 22.4% when AI assistance was switched off after they'd grown used to it.
- 70% of US nurses and 77% of physicians already worry AI reliance is eroding their clinical skills.
- Anthropic's trial with 52 software engineers found those who habitually used AI took longer and made more errors solving problems without it.
- Researchers like Yuichi Mori say there's no clear fix yet and want "deskilling" made a top research priority.
