Artificial intelligence will soon beat doctors by a margin

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, predicts that artificial intelligence will overtake doctors and lawyers; This comment by Musk was raised in response to a study that shows that the GPT-4 artificial intelligence model performs better than experts in diagnosing diseases.

According to the New York Times report, researchers at the Boston Medical Center found in a new study that doctors who used the GPT-4 to diagnose diseases were only slightly better than doctors who did not use the chatbot. But surprisingly, ChatGPT itself was found to outperform doctors on its own. While referring to the findings of this research, Elon Musk said:

“AI will soon beat doctors and lawyers by a wide margin, and eventually all humans will (fail at) almost everything.”

We can be a biological support organism for intelligence; “Because we are less fragile than silicon, and perhaps we remain a source of will.”

Elon Musk’s comment about artificial intelligence in the field of medicine

According to an article published in JAMA, the OpenAI chatbot scored an average of 90% when diagnosing a medical condition based on a case report and related descriptions. Doctors who used the chatbot for diagnosis scored 76%. Doctors who did not use it had an average score of 74%.

After the publication of this research, the CEO of Abacus.AI stated that a medical artificial intelligence with access to all laboratory reports can diagnose diseases and suggest solutions better than many human doctors. The same is true for lawyers and other knowledge- and data-heavy professions, he believes.

Elon Musk also agrees with the prediction of the CEO of Abacus.AI. He had previously claimed that by adding the ability to recognize the details of images to Grac’s artificial intelligence in the X social network, users can use it to analyze radiology photos and medical imaging. Of course, he said that the new Grac feature is in the early stages, but it is still very accurate and can be very useful and practical.
