Mitigating automation bias in physician-LLM diagnostic reasoning using behavioral nudges: a randomized controlled trial.

As LLMs are embedded throughout healthcare, physicians may overrely on AI advice—a risk to diagnostic safety. This randomized trial preprint of 72 physicians reviewing clinical vignettes shows that a behavioral nudge may reduce overreliance. The findings suggest that embedding cues into clinical interfaces could help preserve human judgment, offering a potential way to minimize automation bias in clinical decision making.
