Reply: Matters Arising: The importance of understanding AI’s impact on physician behavior

We respond to the Matters Arising article by Bernstein et al. 1 in response to our recent article “Assessing the impact of AI on physician decision-making for mental health treatment in primary care”. Their response highlights the significance of understanding the influence of AI—both unintended and underreported, as we found—on physician decision making, and a few notes regarding aspects of our study’s methodology. We welcome the opportunity to provide additional context to address their comments.

Abstract

We respond to the Matters Arising article by Bernstein et al. 1 in response to our recent article “Assessing the impact of AI on physician decision-making for mental health treatment in primary care”. Their response highlights the significance of understanding the influence of AI—both unintended and underreported, as we found—on physician decision making, and a few notes regarding aspects of our study’s methodology. We welcome the opportunity to provide additional context to address their comments.
