Deep dives
AI Chatbots vs. Human Doctors
A recent study indicates that AI chatbots, particularly OpenAI's ChatGPT, have outperformed doctors in diagnosing illnesses. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the co-pilot model, where AI assists doctors compared to a disruptive approach where AI solely drives diagnosis. A key factor appears to be the lack of proper training for doctors in using AI tools effectively, which may have influenced their performance. Future studies are needed to assess the impact of training and the potential for AI to complement or replace human practitioners.
