  • Summary

  • Two new studies reveal the promise and challenges of using AI-chatbots in healthcare.

    In one study, ChatGPT outperformed doctors in diagnosing illnesses from case histories, with a 90% accuracy rate compared to doctors' 76%. However, it also showed that many doctors stick to their own judgment and don’t fully utilize AI’s potential.

    Another study focused on pharmacy settings found ChatGPT struggled with complex medical questions, often providing inaccurate or even made-up answers.

    This episode unpacks what these findings mean for the future of healthcare. Can AI become a trusted partner for doctors? What needs to change to make it work—and could embracing AI save lives? Let’s dive in.
