AI in the clinic: nudges may stop doctors from blindly trusting ChatGPT
NCT ID NCT07328815
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether behavioral nudges can reduce automation bias—when doctors uncritically accept AI recommendations. 72 physicians evaluated clinical cases with AI-generated suggestions, some containing errors. Half received nudges showing the AI's baseline accuracy and color-coded confidence signals. The goal was to see if these cues help doctors spot mistakes and improve diagnostic accuracy.
