In another AI vs. Doctor showdown, the AI wins again.
european researchers found An artificial intelligence chatbot known as ChatGPT has shown performance comparable to, and to some extent better than, trained physicians in suggesting likely diagnoses for patients seen in the emergency department. Ta.
The result is Emergency Medicine Annual Report.
Although the researchers noted that more work is needed, the results could one day allow AI to support doctors working in emergency medicine, thereby reducing patient wait times. He said this suggests that there is a possibility.
The study looked at anonymized details of 30 patients treated in the emergency department last year. ChatGPT was given the doctor’s notes regarding the patient’s signs, symptoms, and physical examination. Experimental results were also announced. The researchers then compared the final list of likely diagnoses generated by the chatbot to the same list created by an emergency medicine physician, and then compared it to the patient’s correct diagnosis.
The results showed approximately 60% overlap between the doctor list and ChatGPT. The doctor gave the correct diagnosis within the top five likely diagnoses in his 87% of cases, but in ChatGPT’s case he made it 97% of the time. Interestingly, the free version, his ChatGPT version 3.5, scored higher than his subscription version, which had a success rate of 87%, which is the same as the doctor.
Researchers say AI could be best used to support less experienced doctors or to detect rare diseases.
