The GPT-4 language model scored on par with ophthalmologists in
tests of disease diagnosis ability, demonstrating the great potential of
AI in assisting medical diagnosis, especially in the field of
ophthalmology. Reasons why ophthalmology is a focus of AI research: -
Ability to apply AI technology to clinical use: Ophthalmology is a
medical field with a lot of image data, very suitable for applying AI
algorithms to analyze and diagnose diseases. -
Minimize and improve AI problems: Ophthalmology can help AI researchers
solve problems like "hallucination" - a condition where AI "paints"
itself with false information. Research by British scientists:
- The study compared the diagnostic ability of GPT-4 with that of
primary physicians,...
