Researchers have been trying for over 50 years to design computer programs to make medical diagnoses, but with limited success. Recently, a team of medical professionals at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston explored how chatbots could be used to help medical students and residents learn how to think like a doctor. The team used GPT-4, the latest version of a chatbot released by OpenAI, to help them reach a diagnosis. AI is transforming many aspects of the practice of medicine, and doctors are using these tools to help them with diagnosis. The idea is to use a chatbot in the same way that doctors turn to each other for suggestions and insights.
