arXiv:2608. 14399v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Patients increasingly ask large language model (LLM) assistants which doctor to see, making these systems AI infomediaries: algorithms that intermediate one person's choice among other people and thereby decide, silently and at scale, which physicians become visible.

IatroBench: A Pre-Registered Benchmark of Clinical Omission in Language Models

IatroBench is a pre‑registered benchmark that evaluates language models on clinical omission and commission harms across 60 scenarios and six models. Using a physician‑written rubric scored by Claude Opus 4.6, the study finds that models tend to withhold more information from patients than from doctors—a phenomenon termed framing‑contingent withholding—while also revealing varied patterns of omission across different models. The benchmark highlights how framing influences the amount of medical information shared by AI systems.
