@HedgieMarkets AI doesn’t need to replace judgment if it can quietly disable it

🦔Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania studied what they call cognitive surrender, the tendency to accept AI outputs without critical evaluation. Across 1,372 participants and over 9,500 trials, subjects accepted faulty AI reasoning 73.2% of the time and only overruled it 19.7% of the time. When the AI was wrong, users still accepted its answer 80% of the time. Subjects who used AI scored 11.7% higher on confidence in their answers despite the AI being wrong half the time. Adding time pressure made people 12 percentage points less likely to catch AI errors. Adding financial incentives and immediate feedback made them 19 points more likely to catch them. My Take The time pressure finding matters enormously for how AI is actually being deployed in workplaces. Companies are using AI to justify faster turnaround times, which means employees are using it under exactly the conditions that make them least likely to catch mistakes. When you're rushed, your internal monitor for detecting errors essentially stops firing, so you get AI output, no time to review it, high confidence it's correct, and a meaningful chance it's wrong. People using a system that was wrong half the time still felt more confident in their answers than people who weren't using AI at all. That is a system actively making people worse at knowing what they don't know, which is one of the most dangerous things you can do to human judgment at scale. The companies pushing AI hardest into employee workflows should be reading this research carefully. Hedgie🤗 Link to research for those interested: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Turns out that implementing reliable & valid #delirium detection is tough. Multiple elements needed. But it can work - 91% of hip fracture patients in Scotland undergo a 4AT: boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/10.130…

Explain delirium in accessible terms: "The brain isn't processing information normally right now." This helps families understand why repeating basics about what is going on, as well as being reassuring over and over again, can help the person experiencing #delirium.

“We had no structured training. It felt like guesswork, not clinical care.” -- a nurse commenting on his experience of providing care to people with #delirium ➡️ For me, a massive upscaling of good quality delirium education is the single most important change we need to make to improve care.
