Artificial Intelligence (AI) is new to many, but it has existed for decades. It has hit the news recently, primarily due to the release from OPEN.AI and their ChatGPT platform. (GPT: Generative Pre-Trained Transformers, not the movie kind, and emphasis on the pre-trained part) For the first time, AI is accessible to the masses, and those masses are turning AI into exciting products and offerings, with healthcare being one of the primary recipients.
In the first part of this series, I attempted to set the stage for how pervasive AI has become in the past couple of years. It provided an overview of the impact on healthcare and the areas we’ll look at in this series.
In Part 2, I’ll focus on healthcare delivery by physicians, how they use it to increase their ability to deliver diagnoses and treatments to you, and how they can reduce the burden of all their paperwork. Yes, there’s a lot of paperwork and fax machines!
