Widely used AI tool for early sepsis detection may be cribbing doctors’ suspicions
When using only data collected before patients with sepsis received treatments or medical tests, the model’s accuracy was no better than a coin toss.

Clinicians could be fooled by biased AI, despite explanations
Regulators pinned their hopes on clinicians being able to spot flaws in explanations of an AI model’s logic, but a study suggests this isn’t a safe approach.
