The use of AI in healthcare is gaining traction, but a recent study found that the ChatGPT system underperformed on a self-assessment tool in the field of urology. The chatbot produced less than 30% correct answers, with many of its explanations being cyclic or redundant. Healthcare providers should conduct thorough testing before relying on AI tools to reduce the risk of disseminating medical misinformation.

A GE Healthcare survey reveals the rising skepticism towards the use of AI in medical settings. Despite recognizing its benefits, 55% of respondents believe AI is not ready for use in medicine, and 58% expressed lack of trust in AI data. Mistrust arises from algorithms producing discriminatory results based on biased data. Clinicians require sufficient training to understand how AI can augment patient care. AI-driven systems can help resolve administrative tasks and allow for greater focus on patient care.

ChatGPT, an AI chatbot created to offer health advice, has scored poorly on a urologist's practice exam due to the repetition of its cyclical responses to open-ended questions. Scoring a low 26.7%, the AI tool's errors were found to endanger the spread of incorrect medical information. Despite the chatbot's past successes, further refinement is needed before deploying it in clinical settings.

Carbon Health has introduced an AI tool, Carby, that uses GPT-4 and Amazon's AWS Transcribe Medical cloud service to generate medical records from physicians' conversations with patients. The tool summarises important information gathered in consultations, enabling clinics to treat more patients. Physicians must verify the AI-generated text, but Carbon Health reports that 88% of the verbiage can be accepted without edits. The model is already supporting over 130 clinics, with a clinic in San Francisco reporting a 30% increase in patients treated. The tool is integrated into the Electronic Health Record system and produces consultation summaries in four minutes, compared to 16 minutes by doctors working alone.

The discussion about a minimum wage of ₦200,000 in Nigeria has stirred mixed reactions. While ChatGPT offered a breakdown of basic needs that the wage might provide, oz4real83's experience countered the feasibility of achieving them. It highlights the high cost of living in Nigeria as a long-standing issue. As citizens continue to navigate these challenges, it remains to be seen if the government will address their concerns and provide necessary support.
