 The complete absence of peer-reviewed evidence for durable up-skilling after 5+ years of large-scale clinical AI deployment provides negative confirmation that skill effects flow in one direction. Despite extensive evidence on AI improving performance while present, zero published studies demonstrate improvement that persists when AI is removed. This asymmetry—growing deskilling literature (Heudel et al. 2026, Natali et al. 2025, colonoscopy ADR drop, radiology/pathology automation bias) versus empty up-skilling literature—confirms the three failure modes operate without a compensating improvement mechanism.

+# Never-skilling is a distinct AI training failure mode where trainees fail to acquire foundational skills due to premature automation exposure
+
+This 2026 scoping review formalizes 'never-skilling' as a distinct mechanism from deskilling in AI-integrated medical training environments. While deskilling affects experienced practitioners who lose previously acquired skills through disuse when AI handles routine tasks, never-skilling occurs when trainees fail to develop foundational competencies in the first place due to premature reliance on automation. The distinction is critical because never-skilling is structurally invisible (no pre-AI baseline exists for comparison) and potentially irreversible (skills never acquired cannot be recovered). The review identifies this pattern most acutely in pathology and cytology, where AI automation of routine screening reduces the volume of cases trainees encounter during formative training periods. The cytology example is particularly stark: consolidation of cytology labs combined with AI automation has destroyed approximately 80 percent of training volume for routine cervical cytology screening, meaning trainees complete programs without sufficient exposure to build pattern recognition skills. This creates a competency gap that becomes apparent only when practitioners must work without AI assistance. The review covers 11+ medical specialties, suggesting never-skilling is a structural property of AI-integrated training environments rather than a specialty-specific anomaly.
