A new paper in Nature Medicine highlights a critical gap in the deployment of AI in healthcare: while many AI tools demonstrate accuracy, their actual impact on patient health outcomes remains largely unknown.

The paper emphasizes the need to move beyond evaluating accuracy and clinician satisfaction to understanding how AI influences clinical decision-making and patient care, considering potential unintended consequences.
