Health systems across the U.S. are beginning to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to provide medical advice to patients. A pilot program in California and Wisconsin is using OpenAI’s ChatGPT – a generative AI – to read patient messages and offer advice from their doctors. With fully-trained experts, the AI promises to reduce the time that health care staff need to answer queries.
ChatGPT stands out when compared to traditional medical advice – a recent study found the AI is better in responding to patient questions than the average doctor. The AI was praised for its speed and accuracy in responding quickly to inquiries, as well as for giving more comprehensive and professional answers.
OpenAI is an AI research and development lab focused on creating human-level artificial intelligence in safely and securely. Founded in 2015 by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and others, the company envisions a future in which AI can help people with everyday tasks, such as providing business insights or helping with medical record protection.
The company has already garnered significant attention for its progress in the AI field, and with the introduction of the ChatGPT pilot program, the company is set to become a major player in healthcare and beyond. As the AI continues to learn and progresses, it will no doubt revolutionize the way we approach medical advice and help, offering unprecedented accuracy and speed.
