Seminars topic: This talk examines key economic issues arising from the use of artificial intelligence in medical decision-making. Through three research studies, the speaker introduces frontier economic questions related to AI-assisted healthcare: (1) how AI assistance can help overcome medical overuse; (2) when and why explanations generated by medical AI systems help or harm decision quality; and (3) how AI can be used to screen and evaluate physician quality. Together, these studies shed light on the incentives, behavioral responses, and efficiency implications of integrating AI into healthcare delivery.
