ChatGPT: Temptations of Progress (Preprint)

Abstract

<sec> <title>UNSTRUCTURED</title> AI systems hold immense promise for medicine. We should certainly celebrate their possibilities and accomplishments. Nevertheless, we need to confront the challenges of mitigating potential harms, while amplifying benefits. In medicine, there are ample opportunities for harm and misinformation, so there is a need for caution. Once released, we cannot control how information from AI systems is used, but we can emphasize to users that the technology remains in an early phase of development and that answers should not be considered the same as advice from clinical experts. Moreover, there is a need for further research to understand the output of AI systems when used in response to medical questions. While these considerations are not unique to the use of AI in medicine, the potential for imminent harm to individuals makes it particularly important to carefully evaluate and manage the use of AI in this field. The release of a powerful tool such as ChatGPT will instill awe, but in medicine, it needs to elicit appropriate action to evaluate its capabilities, mitigate its harms, and facilitate its optimal use. </sec>
