- WVU researcher Avishek Choudhury, awarded NSF’s CAREER grant, aims to identify patterns of trust in AI tools by clinicians.
- Choudhury’s goal is to help clinicians maintain an appropriate level of trust in AI based on its quality and context rather than blindly accepting it.
- His research involves simulation-based experiments, behavioral and physiological data collection, and machine learning to detect trust dynamics.
- One major concern Choudhury addresses is liability issues; clinicians remain accountable for decisions made, even if AI recommended them.
- The ultimate objective is to create AI systems that support clinicians in evaluating recommendations and maintaining independent clinical reasoning.
- The award will allow Choudhury to develop this AI framework and aims to enhance patient safety and decision-making quality in healthcare.
