Summary
Artificial intelligence is increasingly impacting medical care, particularly through systems that monitor patient vitals and alert medical teams to potential deteriorations. Physicians at Mount Sinai Health System in New York used AI to monitor patients in step-down units, leading to more proactive treatment and lower mortality rates compared to traditional methods. Chatbots like ChatGPT-3.5 and GPT-4 have also shown proficiency in answering specialized medical queries, with GPT-4 outperforming its predecessor in accuracy and completeness. Despite some notable AI failures, such as Google's AI providing inaccurate medical advice, AI still holds promise as a supplementary tool to assist physicians, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions. Surveys indicate a growing trust in AI among patients, especially younger generations, though AI is not yet poised to replace human doctors.
