Performance of ChatGPT on USMLE: potential for AI-assisted medical education using large language models

14 Feb, 2023 | 11:00h | UTC

Summary: The researchers evaluated the performance of ChatGPT, a large language-based AI, on the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE). The USMLE is a set of three standardized tests required for medical licensure in the US. The results showed that ChatGPT performed at or near the passing threshold (60%) on all three exams without specialized training or reinforcement. The AI also demonstrated a high level of concordance and insight in its explanations, suggesting that it may have potential to assist with medical education and potentially, clinical decision-making in the future. This marks a notable milestone in AI maturation and increased confidence in its trust and explainability.

Perspective | ChatGPT-assisted diagnosis: is the future suddenly here?

14 Feb, 2023 | 10:59h | UTC

Summary: The article discusses the potential of ChatGPT, a new AI chatbot, to revolutionize medical diagnosis. It compares ChatGPT’s performance with that of symptom checkers and physicians, finding that it performs better than symptom checkers and is approaching the accuracy of physicians. The article highlights the limitations of the study, including the small sample size and sensitivity of results to the way information is presented. It also acknowledges potential challenges with the use of AI in medical diagnosis, including the need for more rigorous testing, the issue of feeding patient information into an algorithm, and the possibility of AI algorithms being biased. Despite these challenges, the article suggests that the future of computer-assisted diagnosis is here and the healthcare system will need to address these challenges.

Opinion | The “evidence pyramid” should be dismantled, brick by ill-conceived brick

14 Feb, 2023 | 10:57h | UTC

Summary: The text criticizes the use of the so-called “evidence pyramid” in medicine, which suggests that systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRMAs) are the highest level of evidence in medicine. The author argues that SRMAs are not evidence themselves, but a lens through which actual evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies is viewed. They depend on the quality of the review process and the evidence appraised, which are often low quality and small studies with various methodologies. The author suggests that a better framework would place RCTs at the top of the pyramid and relegates SRMAs to the role of a lens. The author also points out that good observational studies may be better than bad RCTs, and that each paper should be read and judged on its individual merits, not by its strata on a pyramid.

Perspective | Generating scholarly content with ChatGPT: ethical challenges for medical publishing

14 Feb, 2023 | 10:58h | UTC

Summary: The article discusses the ethical challenges posed by the use of ChatGPT, an AI chatbot, in medical publishing. The authors note that the impact of generative AI on medical publishing is currently unknown, but it could have substantial ethical implications, including copyright, attribution, plagiarism, and authorship issues. The authors argue that there is a growing need for robust AI author guidelines in scholarly publishing, and that the International Association of Scientific, Technical, and Medical Publishers has produced a white paper on AI ethics. They also raise concerns about the potential for ChatGPT to widen existing disparities in knowledge dissemination and scholarly publishing, as well as the potential for the chatbot to produce misleading or inaccurate content. The authors call on The Lancet Digital Health and the Lancet family to initiate discussions around the implications of AI-generated content within scholarly publishing and to create comprehensive guidance.
