According to Cointelegraph, medical researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai conducted a study on artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots. It is believed that they determined that “generative large language models are autonomous practitioners of evidence-based medicine.”
“LLMs can be made to function as autonomous practitioners of evidence-based medicine. Their ability to utilize tooling can be harnessed to interact with the infrastructure of a real-world healthcare system and perform the tasks of patient management in a guideline-directed manner,” Cointelegraph explained.
Sources revealed that LLMs can mitigate this overload by performing tasks usually handled by human medical experts, such as “ordering and interpreting investigations, or issuing alarms,” while humans focus on physical care.
“LLMs are versatile tools capable of understanding clinical context and generating possible downstream actions,” Cointelegraph concluded.
