Verify Before You Amplify - One Specialist's Field Notes on AI in Clinical Work
What happens when a clinical laboratory specialist starts using AI in everyday expert work and applies the same critical thinking to AI-generated outputs as to laboratory results? From literature reviews and data analysis to automated workflows, AI promises to make expert work faster and more efficient. But what happens when the results look convincing yet turn out to be wrong?
Drawing on firsthand experiences with AI tools, this lecture explores their practical benefits, unexpected failures, and the importance of verification. Through concrete examples and parallels with clinical laboratory quality management, it demonstrates why effective prompting is only the beginning and why knowing how to verify the output is the skill that truly matters.
