America’s Largest Hospital System Ready to Start Replacing Radiologists With AI, Its CEO Says

NYC Health and Hospitals CEO Mitchell Katz said the system could replace many radiologists with AI and suggested automating breast cancer screening.

A radiologist warned that relying solely on AI reads would cause patient harm and death.

A non-peer-reviewed Stanford study found visual-AI chest X-ray tools can pass benchmarks without seeing images, producing an 'AI mirage.'

Researchers said these models can simulate image reasoning without image grounding, undermining usual hallucination safeguards.
