Can\u2019t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech<\/p>\n

A recent survey found that millions of Americans are asking AI chatbots for medical advice, often instead of consulting human doctors.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s despite researchers continuing to find severe flaws plaguing large language model-based tools that can purportedly offer summaries of medical records and dole out health advice based on simple text prompts. For one, hallucinations remain a massive unsolved problem, from AI models generating detailed clinical findings based on images they were never provided to falling for fake diseases that were invented by researchers in order to trick them.<\/p>\n

In short, it\u2019s no wonder scientists are questioning whether patients, health providers, or health systems should adopt AI at all, especially given the frequently lacking evidence for any real-world benefits. A scathing editorial published on Tuesday by the premier medical journal Nature Medicine makes the case that \u201cevidence that AI tools create value for patients, providers or health systems remains scarce.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNonetheless, in publications, and in product materials, claims about clinical impact are increasingly more common, even though there is no clear agreement on what level of evidence should be required before such claims are considered credible,\u201d the editorial reads. \u201cThe result is not only scientific uncertainty but also often premature implementation and adoption.\u201d<\/p>\n

The piece therefore calls for the establishment of a \u201cframework for how AI medical technologies should be evaluated, by what metrics and against which benchmarks,\u201d which is \u201curgently needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

AI tools often appear to offer compelling medical advice under perfect experimental conditions, then struggle in the real world. A recent study in the journal JAMA Medicine found that when provided with more ambiguous symptoms, frontier AI…<\/p>\n
