Google's AI-powered Med-PaLM has achieved a passing grade on the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam, but still falls short of human doctors. ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, has also achieved passing or near passing results. Google has developed a new evaluation benchmark to reduce "hallucinations" and a newer version of Med-PaLM has reached 86.5%. AI experts caution that AI should be used as an assistant, not a decision maker. Med-PaLM is being tested at the Mayo Clinic for administrative tasks.
This is the application I think I’m most excited about for LLMs. A well trained LLM can correlate and reference more data points than any human could, which would help diagnose weird stuff a human doctor may or may not recognize. Especially if the LLM is kept up to date with cutting edge medical advances.
This is so exciting - there is a big potential here, if we are careful and cautious.
I think the computer scientist they interview in the article hits the nail on the head with his statement:
these models “should always be regarded as assistants rather than the final decision makers
AI technologies as an extension of human ability is going to revolutionise a lot of professional fields. But, we need to approach the technology the right way! We need to start early, and have digital literacy as a focus area in schools.
