ChatGPT, a revolutionary AI-based chatbot developed by OpenAI, has made an impressive progress since its launch in November. The AI-based program has successfully passed four national benchmarking exams and even scored a 58 percent on a study exam used by ophthalmologists preparing for board certification. Furthermore, its empathetic answers to patient questions performed even better than physicians, according to an April 28 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
UC San Diego Health, UW Health in Madison, WI, and Stanford Health Care in Palo Alto, CA are some of the major healthcare organizations that are currently piloting the integration from Epic Systems and Microsoft with Azure OpenAI in order to help draft messages within their EHR systems for patients. The successful implementation of this technology could free up physicians from the trillion-dollar annual administrative burden.
Additionally, Boston Children’s Hospital is making efforts to hire engineers with expertise in ChatGPT use cases, as well as designing and developing succinct messages to effectively gather data from generative AI programs. Its Chief Innovation Officer John Brownstein, PhD, emphasizes the potential of this technology to bring back a love of medicine for many providers and comments that “we haven’t seen this kind of level of innovation since the search engine or iPhone.”
OpenAI is a nonprofit AI research laboratory headquartered in San Francisco and is led by some of the most accomplished researchers in the field of artificial intelligence. Led by its co-founder and CEO, Sam Altman, and its CTO, Greg Brockman, OpenAI has been making waves within the field of AI. The combination of scientific research, collaboration and its various initiatives has been making further advancements in the industry.
