FDA-cleared #AI medical devices often experience recalls shortly after clearance, particularly those without clinical validation and produced by publicly traded companies. ja.ma/3UFrZqI

Medical AI is as much about forgetting as it is about learning.

Even if data are deleted, models can still remember what they learned. That’s why “machine unlearning” is emerging as a crucial frontier for privacy, regulation, and trust.

Unlearning In Medical AI: A New Frontier For Privacy, Regulation, And Trust | Health Affairs Forefront

Even if data are removed from a system, it’s possible that an AI model may still be retaining the ‘lessons’ it learned from training on that data in the past.

In our new @jamahealthforum.com paper, we examined timing and drivers of FDA-cleared AI medical device recalls

We show publicly traded companies’ products are far more likely to be recalled. Such recalls often occur within 1st year & with no human testing

Early Recalls and Clinical Validation Gaps in Artificial Intelligence–Enabled Medical Devices

This cross-sectional study examines whether lack of clinical validation and publicly traded manufacturer status were associated with recalls of artificial intelligence–enabled medical devices that had...

A study finds clinicians rate peers who use generative AI for primary decision-making lower in skill and competence. Framing AI as a verification tool partially mitigates this negative perception but does not eliminate it.

Yet, clinicians also saw promise:

Belief that GenAI improves accuracy: 4.30

Institution-customized GenAI viewed even more favorably: 4.96

(7-point scale)

Ratings of the care experience also dropped — from 4.48 ⭐️ to 3.08 ⭐️ (5-star scale).

Framing GenAI as a verification tool helped (clinical skill 4.99, competence 4.94), but the gap remained.

The numbers are striking.

In our randomized experiment of 276 clinicians, a physician who used GenAI as a decision aid tool was rated far lower:

Clinical skill: 3.79 vs 5.93

Overall competence: 3.71 vs 5.99

(7-point scale)

Would you trust a doctor who uses ChatGPT during your visit?

Today, we published a study in @natureportfolio.nature.com Digital Medicine — the first survey of practicing clinicians on how they view peers who use generative AI in medical decision-making.
