Clinical AI needs checks that last over time
The Asclepius paper says long-running clinical AI systems can fail during execution. It reports that adaptive tools, rules, and step records improved critical actions. The practical issue is not just whether the model can answer once. It is whether the setup keeps working over time.
Beyond Prompting
What the source reports
The paper reports on long-horizon clinical agents. Agents are AI systems that use tools to carry out tasks. Adaptive harnesses improved critical actions. A harness is the tools, instructions, and rules around an AI model. The snapshot does not state the clinical tasks, sample size, or measured improvement.
