讲座摘要:We examine the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on decision quality and efficiency in the context of outpatient physicians. The AI-assisted Antibiotic Decision Support System we study provides real-time support across infection diagnosis, microbiology-result interpretation, and treatment recommendations. We find that AI substantially reduces total antibiotic dose, the probability of prescribing, and the number of antibiotic types. These changes coincide with significant declines in patient revisit rates, implying improved patient health. Two mechanisms account for these effects. First, AI improves diagnosis–prescription concordance for infection related cases: prescription error rates fall and prescription accuracy rises. Second, AI reallocates physicians’ time and resources: diagnostic time shortens while time and services devoted to downstream treatment increase. Heterogeneity analysis reveals substantial variation across physicians. Improvements are larger for lower-skill, less-experienced, and female physicians. Disaggregation by skill type shows a complementary pattern: physicians with weaker clinical reasoning skill gain most in diagnosis–prescription concordance, whereas those with stronger skill expand therapeutic engagement more. Finally, AI yields larger gains for simple cases while still delivering smaller, yet positive, benefits for complex cases. Overall, our results suggest that AI deployment in a high-stakes setting reshapes both practice and within-group performance disparities.
