Medical AI tools, including OpenAI and Anthropic models, show high omission error rates in new study

A recent study by researchers from Stanford, Harvard, and the ARISE network, named NOHARM, evaluated the performance of several AI tools in clinical settings. The study tested OpenEvidence, Doximity's Ask, OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol, and Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 using 1,100 real clinical cases and physician annotations. While Doximity's Ask performed best, all tested AI systems exhibited a significant flaw: 76.6% of harmful errors were omissions, meaning the AI failed to include crucial information rather than stating incorrect facts. This highlights the ongoing challenge of ensuring AI reliability in healthcare, even as regulatory bodies and legal frameworks grapple with AI accountability. AI

IMPACT Highlights critical omission errors in medical AI, emphasizing the need for human oversight and robust regulatory frameworks.

    A new medical AI study found the same flaw in OpenEvidence, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Doximity

    The findings suggest healthcare AI's next challenge isn't adoption or funding—it's proving the technology can avoid dangerous omissions at the point of care.
