Physicians Are Using AI and Distrusting It at the Same Time
Doctors are adopting AI tools faster than any press release predicted — and quietly flagging accuracy failures the institutional coverage ignores.
Every major AI healthcare story this week carried the same implicit argument: investment at scale is evidence of clinical validity. Function Health's Series B [14], Perplexity's Apple Health integration [7], a Nature paper on liver disease diagnostics [20] — each traveled through institutional coverage as proof of a transformation already completed. The press release is a genre optimized for the first number in any survey, and the first number from Doximity is 94% adoption interest. The second number — 71% accuracy concern — does not appear in YouTube thumbnails.
