A new study looks at how accurately AI can diagnose patients. We interview the researcher, who weighs in on AI's role in assisting human doctors.
Certainly, there’s more work to be done until AI reaches the capabilities and knowledge of an experienced physician, although afound doctors achieving nearly the same rate of about 71% accuracy on diagnoses. As Dr. Succi stated, their study “tells us that LLMs in general have the potential to be an augmenting tool for the practice of medicine and support clinical decision making with impressive accuracy.
The AI did worst in differential diagnoses, with its accuracy dropping to only 60% when it needed to chose between two or more conditions with similar symptoms. Clinical management decisions like picking the medicine to give in each case were also not its strong suit, coming in at about 68% accuracy.
Rao explained that there are some intangible factors that are part of interacting with a human doctor. In particular, Rao stated, “the patient-doctor relationship is crucial; empathy, observation, and critical thinking are all necessary in clinical care, and none of these can be performed by GPT.” The role of AI, wrote Rao, “is to assist physicians, not replace them.”
