  "title": "Impact of AI misinformation on diagnostic accuracy and confidence calibration in novice medical students",
  "summary": "For novice medical learners, do the benefits of correct AI explanations outweigh the risks of plausible misinformation? In a randomized trial with 111 students, we found they do not. Our results reveal a significant and problematic asymmetry: misleading AI explanations significantly degraded diagnostic accuracy, while correct explanations offered no significant improvement over a no-explanation control. Misleading explanations reduced diagnostic accuracy and showed no evidence of confidence cali",
