AI-induced Deskilling in Medicine: A Mixed-Method Review and Research Agenda for Healthcare and Beyond
Abstract The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare is reshaping clinical practice, offering both opportunities for enhanced decision-making and risks of skill degradation among medical professionals. This growing impact calls for a comprehensive evaluation of its effects on medical expertise. This study presents a mixed-method literature review, combining systematic analysis with narrative synthesis to examine AI-induced deskilling and upskilling inhibition-the erosion of medical expertise an…
A literature review linked AI decision support to vulnerabilities in doctors' physical examination, differential diagnosis, clinical judgment and patient communication skills, though magnitude and reversibility remain uncertain.
Review identifies need for stronger evidence base, advocating for longitudinal studies and real-time monitoring to assess AI impact and develop mitigation frameworks, indicating current literature is insufficient to quantify long-term skill erosion.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0490 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
