Agentic AI boosts physician trust in clinical decisions, study finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new study published on arXiv explores the impact of agentic AI on physician trust in clinical decision-making. Researchers found that physicians exhibited significantly higher cognitive and behavioral trust in agentic AI models compared to non-agentic baselines, particularly in treatment planning tasks where they preferred the agentic model 89.57% of the time. Despite the increased trust, the study also noted instances of over-reliance on incorrect agentic outputs, emphasizing the continued need for clinician oversight. AI

IMPACT Agentic AI's ability to enhance physician trust could accelerate its adoption in clinical settings, though careful oversight remains crucial.
