A study conducted in the Netherlands compared the accuracy of diagnoses made by the language model, ChatGPT, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), with those made by medics. The study found that ChatGPT was at least as accurate as A&E doctors in making the right diagnosis. The AI analysis was compared with two clinicians who made a diagnosis based on the same information, both with and without laboratory data. The team said that while ChatGPT was “able to suggest medical diagnoses much like a human doctor would”, more work is needed before it is applied in the real world.
