Redefining Medical Diagnosis: A Glimpse into the Future of AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is on the verge of revolutionizing one of the most critical roles in healthcare – disease diagnosis. A large language model known as GPT-4, utilized by the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, has shown unprecedented capabilities in diagnosing eye disorders, traditionally handled by ophthalmologists.
A recent study published in the Plos Digital Health journal suggests that GPT-4, significantly outperformed ophthalmology doctors in training, scoring a whopping 69% in an assessment compared to the doctors’ average of 59%. This breakthrough evidences the burgeoning potential of AI in the medical field, especially in regions where access to expert ophthalmologists is limited.
The study further indicated that AI's potential extends beyond ophthalmology with Google's AI technology matching or outperforming clinicians in spotting breast cancer from mammograms and eye disease in retinal scans. Moreover, AI has shown remarkable success in determining the narrowing of coronary arteries through CAT scans, a vital task typically fulfilled by doctors.
Truly, AI has become an indispensable tool in the medical field, allowing us to accelerate the extraction of essential information while ensuring optimal accuracy. Its application in risk management for cardiovascular disease is praiseworthy, with AI proving to be effective in detecting inflammation on cardiac CAT scans that were previously missed.
As we steer headlong into a future increasingly dominated by AI, can we foresee a future where healthcare workers are substituted entirely by these advanced models? And if so, are we ready for such a paradigm shift?
