Training with Artificial Intelligence: Are There Hidden Costs in Clinical Reasoning and Medical Education?

Authors: Maya Guhan, MD, MBA, Chirayu Shah, MD, Prathit A. Kulkarni, MD

Abstract

Medical students around the world are now routinely using generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools (eg, Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, Microsoft CoPilot, and OpenEvidence) as they interview patients, generate differential diagnoses, and formulate treatment plans.1 Although more experienced clinicians who trained without these tools often rely on memory and pattern recognition, many are now also using AI to augment their clinical decision making.2
