New research from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai reveals that even the most advanced AI models can fall into familiar traps when faced with nuanced medical ethics dilemmas.

Inspired by Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow, investigators tested how well large language models like ChatGPT handle modified versions of classic ethical puzzles. The results? AI systems often defaulted to intuitive—but incorrect—answers, even when clues pointed elsewhere.

“AI can be powerful, but without context and critical thinking, it may miss the mark—especially in high-stakes clinical settings,” says Dr. Eyal Klang, co-senior author and Chief of Generative AI at Mount Sinai.

The study, published in NPJ Digital Medicine, emphasizes the importance of human oversight and ethical rigor in AI-assisted medical care.

As a medical school embedded in a hospital system, Mount Sinai’s community emphasizes making an impact on patient care. Many research projects have a highly transitional focus, ranging from target identification for Alzheimer’s disease to developing machine learning algorithms to predict the pathogenicity of mutations based on patient data.

“We’ve created an infrastructure to increase the visibility of the AI training here at Mount Sinai and give students hands-on experience in research programs that are directly related to improving human health.” – Marta Filizola, PhD, Professor and Dean of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences

A new study published in Nature Medicine shows how artificial intelligence (AI) could significantly improve cancer diagnostics and treatment planning.

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and international collaborators have demonstrated that AI can accurately predict EGFR mutations in lung cancer using routine pathology slides. This breakthrough has the potential to streamline the diagnostic process and accelerate access to personalized therapies.

By identifying key mutations earlier, this approach could help preserve limited tumor tissue, reduce the need for rapid genetic testing by over 40 percent, and support faster clinical decision-making.

“This is how we responsibly bring AI into hospitals,” said Dr. Alexander Charney, Vice Chair of the Windreich Department of Artificial Intelligence and Human Health at Mount Sinai.

The findings represent an important step toward integrating AI into real-world clinical workflows, while also laying the groundwork for broader adoption in both high- and low-resource settings.

Each year, 2 million Americans experience a fragility fracture—but far too few receive the follow-up care they need. At Mount Sinai, we’re changing that.

In early 2025, we launched Own the Bone®, a comprehensive bone health initiative in partnership with the American Orthopaedic Association. The program focuses on patients aged 50+ who sustain low-energy fractures—often the first sign of underlying osteoporosis—and ensures they receive coordinated care to prevent future breaks.

Led by Phoebe Ke, PA-C, MHA, CCD, the program provides screening, lifestyle counseling, medication management, and referrals to specialists in nutrition and physical therapy. It’s already helped more than 300 patients and is expanding across Mount Sinai’s hospitals citywide.

“Many patients don’t even realize they have osteoporosis until they’re in the hospital with a fracture,” says Ms. Ke. “Our goal is to catch it early, educate patients, and intervene in ways that preserve independence and quality of life.”

With in-hospital consultations and all services under one roof, Own the Bone® is making bone health more accessible, proactive, and patient-centered. Read more about it in our newest Special Report: https://mshs.co/3GriHLd
