Melissa in the Morning: AI Underestimates Medical Emergencies

A new study shows OpenAI's chatbot called ChatGPT Health is underestimating the seriousness of certain medical emergencies. For the study published in the journal Nature Medicine, ChatGPT Health was given 60 medical situations, and the responses were compared to the responses of three doctors. Researchers concluded that a little over half of emergency cases, ChatGPT recommended seeing a doctor within 48 hours in contrast to the opinion of doctors saying ChatGPT Health should have advised the emergency room instead. We talked about this with Dr. Fred Browne of Griffin Health.
