Five new papers, including a Nature Medicine warning about 'never-skilling', suggest that AI's effect on how doctors learn to think depends on supervision and design far more than on the model itself.
I find this area very interesting and came across the paper yesterday, so I am still processing it. I really enjoyed your piece.
The idea of never-skilling particularly caught me, because it feels relevant beyond clinical education, including to governance, and to what happens when we become dependent on AI before we have consolidated our own clinical reasoning. What concerns me is not only whether clinicians can reach the right answer with support, but whether they can still recognise when the process supporting them is itself wrong.

Absolutely. I love the never-skilling idea. I worry how much of their learning is now superficial and conditional on access to intelligent systems.
