AI in medicine: creating a safe and equitable future
The Lancet
Abstract
The meteoric progress of generative artificial intelligence (AI)—such as Open AI's ChatGPT, capable of holding realistic conversations, or others of creating realistic images and video from simple prompts—has renewed interest in the transformative potential of AI, including for health. It has also sparked sobering warnings. Addressing the UN Security Council in July, Secretary General António Guterres spoke of the “horrific levels of death and destruction” that malicious AI use could cause. How can the medical community navigate AI's substantial challenges to realise its health potential?
