Patient Reactions to Artificial Intelligence-Clinician Discrepancies: Web-Based Randomized Experiment
CONCLUSIONS: Radiologists who recommend less testing than AI may face decreased patient confidence in their expertise, but they may not face this same penalty for giving more aggressive recommendations than AI. Patients’ reactions may depend in part on whether their general preferences to maximize or minimize align with the radiologists’ recommendations. Future research should test… →

Beyond Aha Moments: Structuring Reasoning in Large Language Models
Beyond Aha Moments: Structuring Reasoning in Large Language Models Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) like OpenAI’s o1 and o3, DeepSeek-R1, Grok 3.5, and Gemini 2.5 Pro exhibit strong capabilities in long Chain of Thought (CoT) reasoning. These models often demonstrate advanced behaviors such as self-correction, backtracking, and verification, collectively referred to as “aha moments.” Such behaviors… →
