A recent study conducted by researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the University of California San Diego, including Mark Dredze, an associate professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins, and published in JAMA Internal Medicine, compared the responses of human physicians and ChatGPT, an AI language model, to real-world health questions. The study found that a panel of licensed health care professionals preferred GPT\s responses 79% of the time, considering them more empathetic and of higher quality. The researchers believe that integrating AI models like GPT into health systems could improve physician responses to patient questions and alleviate the increasing burden on doctors. The study also suggests that AI-augmented care could be the future of medicine.
