It’s starting. As AI integrates into the workflows of many companies, cases of damage due to lack of oversight are increasing. The situation is particularly severe when people suffer from a misdiagnosis, caused by AI hallucinations, and are subjected to incorrect treatments.

I recommend reading the linked article above carefully. It reveals a pattern of behavior that we will likely encounter frequently when discussing so-called automation bias. AI processes are initially checked for plausibility, but once they process large amounts of data, human oversight is lost.

I have already written more extensively about this case for FacultyAI.
