Trust and the reliability of AI algorithms for clinical decision-making support in medicine: the MIRACLE case study

Sep 2026 · AI and Ethics · Vol 6 · 0 citations · 35 references

TL;DR

This paper distinguishes technical reliability from trust in AI-supported clinical decision-making, arguing that the two belong to distinct registers that current debates tend to elide and proposes replacing the expression "trustworthy AI" with "technically reliable AI," a distinction that relocates the conditions of trust from the design of the system to the clinical settings in which it is used.

PATIENT TRUST IN AI-ASSISTED DIAGNOSIS AND TRIAGE: A STRUCTURED NARRATIVE REVIEW OF ETHICAL, SOCIAL, AND IMPLEMENTATION CONDITIONS

Artificial intelligence is increasingly used in medical imaging, clinical decision support, and digital triage. However, technical performance alone does not determine whether such tools will be accepted in practice. Their implementation also depends on whether patients perceive them as understandable, safe, fair, and...

Between the Algorithm’s Recommendation and the Individual’s Will: Two Practical Case Studies on AI in Healthcare and Elder Care

It is concluded that a rights-sensitive use of AI requires procedural safeguards embedded in institutional design: functional transparency, documented dialogue, renewable consent, protected deviation from automated outputs, and accessible routes of contestation.

Development of the perceived AI–physician consistency and trust scale for cardiology: a Delphi-based study

Background Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated considerable potential in cardiovascular diagnostic assistance and clinical decision support. A critical safety-related question, however, remains poorly characterised: how patients subjectively perceive the consistency between artificial intelligence (AI) and p...

Designing Trust, Autonomy, and Acceptance in AI-Based Clinical Decision Support Systems: A Comparative Experimental Analysis

This study integrates two experimental investigations to examine how AI-CDSS design features jointly influence trust, autonomy-related perceptions, and acceptance across patients and physicians, and demonstrates that perceived usefulness is the strongest predictor of intention to use among both patients, potential futu...

Establishing Responsibility Systems for AI Application in Clinical Decision-Making: A Relational Responsibility Perspective

AI in clinical decision-making challenges liability frameworks grounded in subject–object dichotomies, linear causation, and atomised attribution. Drawing on relational responsibility, this article argues that the human–machine association, rather than the AI system or clinician alone, should be treated as the fundam...

Understanding Trust as a Mediating Mechanism in AI-Based Medical Tools and Clinical Decision Processes

The growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has transformed clinical decision-making. Nevertheless, doctors’ engagement with AI-based tools remains hindered, particularly due to trust-related concerns. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors influencing doctors’ engagement with AI-...

Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses

Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research.
