| Abstract: | First Paragraph - Cognitive bias accounts for a significant portion of preventable errors in healthcare, contributing to significant patient morbidity and mortality each year. As large language models (LLMs) are introduced into healthcare and clinical decision-making, these systems are at risk of inheriting – and even amplifying – these existing biases. This article explores both the cognitive biases impacting LLM-assisted medicine and the countervailing strengths these technologies bring to addressing these limitations. |
