The transformative nature of AI in clinical medicine

AI's entry into the medical field is transforming the dynamic between clinicians and patients, especially due to its human-like attributes. The previous focus on machine learning for prediction has shifted to generative AI, which uses large language models to generate natural language. This unprecedented ability for a machine to mimic human language and interactions has garnered both interest and fear. The integration of AI in patient-doctor interactions has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by augmenting clinical processes and improving operational efficiency.
