Does Artificial Intelligence Make Dermatologists Less Intelligent?
Artificial intelligence is transforming dermatology, but may introduce risks of cognitive offloading and automation bias. Excessive reliance on AI could weaken independent clinical reasoning, particularly among trainees. Rather than replacing physician judgment, AI should function as a cognitive partner. Responsible integration and AI literacy can enhance dermatologists' efficiency, knowledge, and decision-making.
