The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.
Researchers in Poland found that medical professionals using AI-assisted diagnostic tools experienced a 6% drop in adenoma detection rates when the AI was removed, indicating deskilling. Similar effects are reported in knowledge work, where overreliance on AI reduces critical thinking and cognitive skills, harming professional competence.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The article explicitly describes AI systems used in medical diagnostics and knowledge work that, through their use, have caused a decline in human professional skills and critical thinking. This decline has been measured and documented, showing a direct link between AI use and harm to human capabilities essential for health and safety. The harm is indirect but clearly articulated and pivotal, fitting the definition of an AI Incident. The article does not merely warn of potential harm (which would be an AI Hazard) nor is it a societal or governance response (Complementary Information). It is not unrelated or solely beneficial use, as the AI's role leads to a significant negative impact on human skills and potentially on health outcomes.[AI generated]
