Dear MEL Topic Readers,
People are flooding AI chatbots with health questions. Microsoft is
teaming up with Mayo Clinic to help
AI chatbots like ChatGPT are generative pretrained transformers whose
interface is designed for conversational interactions. Instead of just
retrieving relevant information from cyberspace like search engines, it creates
new content, such as writing essays or code, answering questions, and providing
suggestions. Such AI is pretrained on massive datasets, including books,
articles, and websites, to learn facts and reasoning patterns. If you ask a health
question to an AI, it’ll answer your question and provide suggestions based on the
health data you rendered. But how accurate and dependable is such health
information from chatbots? Recently, Microsoft and Mayo Clinic, a nonprofit
American academic medical center, announced that they will work together to
build an AI tool trained specifically on medical data to help patients and
medical service providers. They hope the medically pretrained AI will potentially
power AI tools for clinicians and hospitals and improve AI healthcare
assistance for patients via AI chatbots. Since it’ll take years to build and
check such an AI tool, until then, use AI with caution when you ask health or
medical questions.
Read the article and learn how AI might help improve our health and
medical care.
