Abstract

Recent studies challenge the assumption that human-artificial intelligence (AI) collaboration is universally optimal, highlighting tasks where AI alone outperforms combined efforts. This viewpoint discusses the reasons behind these findings, explores influences on synergy and emphasises the importance of identifying when clinicians add net benefit to AI performance. Maximising patient outcomes may require accepting AI autonomy in certain scenarios within healthcare practice.
