It's fascinating to see tech adoption play out. I recall the days of struggling to send basic computer messages at work, met with "why bother. we can just pick up the phone?"

"Why AI reduces productivity in radiology -- yet" "It is a well-known paradox that technology adoption, not only related to AI, is leading to a J-curve shaped change in productivity."
The idea is that introducing a new technology initially decreases productivity. Productivity increases later as people learn to change workflows to make productive use of the new technology, and ultimately ends up higher than the status quo before the introduction of the technology. The process can take a long time and can be painful, though.
"The first certified machine learning-based products that are supposed to support physicians have entered the market. Initially though, a doctor's life does not seem to be easier but even more complicated: It is not enough to write a report and communicate one's findings with patient and referring physician. For an early-adopter radiologist, there are not only dozens of images but also PDF-reports - automatically generated by AI - in the PACS system. These reports need to be interpreted in the clinical context, which is additional work. Ah, and what about quality control for the input data to the AI? Is that particular case today even within the specification of the product?"
