Platform X’s artificial intelligence can analyze the details of medical images

Elon Musk recently claimed that after adding the ability to recognize details of images to Grac’s artificial intelligence on the X platform, users will be able to use it to analyze their radiology photos and medical imaging.

Is the diagnosis of diseases done correctly by Grac?

Chatbot Grok, which can be used on the X platform and provides special features to users of the paid version of former Twitter; It has a relatively different performance compared to other artificial intelligence services. Sarcastic replies and various pranks in the output are among the things that have created controversy around this chatbot in recent months. The CEO of X has recently announced that Grac can now analyze images and recognize the details of photos. For this reason, users are asked to provide their medical information to the mentioned chatbot for examination and diagnosis.

In his strange post on X, Musk asked users to send the results of medical imaging such as X-rays or MRIs and CT scans to Grok for automatic analysis by the machine. He also mentioned that the newly added feature to GROC is in the early stages; But it still has high accuracy and can be very useful and practical. He further said that users should report the correct functioning or problems of Chatbot X.

It is not yet clear whether the analysis and review of medical images and the results of the tests are done properly by Grock or not. Also, providing sensitive personal data such as medical records to services that collect information from their users does not seem logical at all. Although the field of direct abuse of such cases is not discussed; But in case of information leakage and users’ data is compromised, it is possible that people will face serious problems.

Despite the skepticism, many X users have submitted their medical and health data to the Grok chatbot and shared their results. Some of them have stated that the analysis of artificial intelligence has been similar to the diagnosis of doctors and they will no longer need specialists to understand their health problems. But the reviews conducted by doctors show that Grac did not perform acceptable in very common cases such as the spread of tuberculosis to the spine or the failure to detect clear signs of breast cancer in scans. Even in a strange case, a breast cancer tumor was detected by artificial intelligence, a testicle.

What are the risks of providing medical data to artificial intelligence?

Of course, the use of artificial intelligence as a complementary tool in some medical fields such as radiology is not so strange, and currently there are services in this field. But full reliance on chatbots without a doctor’s examination and supervision by a specialist can lead to incorrect diagnoses. Also, chatbots save all the conversations and data of their users in order to practice and improve their performance; As a result, providing them with medical records can turn into a nightmare for people’s privacy; So that even big companies like Amazon and JPMorgan have banned their employees from talking to chatbots.
