A new study in JAMA Network Open found that the availability of GPT-4 to physicians as a diagnostic aid did not significantly improve clinical reasoning compared to conventional resources. A collaborative team of researchers from the University of Minnesota Medical School, Stanford University, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the University of Virginia studied how well doctors used GPT-4 — an artificial intelligence (AI) large language model system — for diagnosing patients.
The study was conducted with 50 U.S.-licensed physicians in family medicine, internal medicine and emergency medicine. Key findings include:
