OpenAI Announces GPT-4 — The Next Generation Of Its AI Language Model  – The Medical Futurist Newsletter

GPT-4 represents another level-up in using large language models for common tasks GPT-4, the latest iteration of ChatGPT, just came out and I've been testing it for days. From one side, I have huge worries about how we will keep up with these AI tools and how these will affect our jobs and lives. But from another perspective, I'm really excited to learn how to use it. I loved how OpenAI President Greg Brockman finished his live demonstration of GPT-4: “It’s not perfect, but neither are you. And together it’s this amplifying tool that lets you just reach new heights.” We will talk about this too in our [upcoming Youtube live Q&A]( with the amazing ePatient Dave, the e-patient leader of our generation. In the meantime, I addressed what [digital front door companies do]( and why they are becoming more and more relevant. I hope you will find the newsletter useful! Best regards, Berci Bertalan Meskó, PhD The Medical Futurist [OPENAI ANNOUNCED GPT-4]( ChatGPT just got a huge upgrade. If you were amazed by ChatGPT, then get ready for this next iteration in scaling up deep learning. For ChatGPT Plus users, it's already available and they can ask 100 questions per 4 hour windows. For others, there is a waitlist. Here is Open AI's announcement: "We spent 6 months making GPT-4 safer and more aligned. GPT-4 is 82% less likely to respond to requests for disallowed content and 40% more likely to produce factual responses than GPT-3.5 on our internal evaluations." GPT-4 will allow users to upload images and ask questions about it. [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? Summarizing medical research, analyzing symptoms and medical history, supporting treatment planning, patient education, EMR documentation and administration, medical education, all fields benefit from this new model. [IMAGES SHOW AI DETECTING BREAST CANCER 4 YEARS BEFORE IT DEVELOPED]( --------------------------------------------------------------- CNN's Poppy Harlow speaks with Dr. Larry Norton, the medical director of the Lauder Breast Center at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, about the use of artificial intelligence in breast cancer detection. An AI-based algorithm predicted breast cancer 4 years before it developed. It identified a woman's high risk based on her scan and four years later, the cancer did develop there. It took place at the Lauder Breast Center at Memorial Sloan Kettering. [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? Such AI tools could bring healthcare into a new dimension in which we start to foresee diseases happening years from now so we can act in time. [INTRODUCTION TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE]( --------------------------------------------------------------- The impact AI will have on our everyday and professional lives can only be compared to the changes the Internet has brought to the world. We are at the dawn of a new era and our capabilities will be hugely enhanced by algorithms, machine- and deep learning. The course was designed to provide a crystal-clear overview of the role artificial intelligence (AI) can play in medicine and healthcare. Just come as you are, no coding experience or special knowledge is needed! [ENROLL NOW]( [WHAT'S NEXT FOR CHATGPT IN HEALTHCARE]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone has been talking about ChatGPT for months now, and it actually reached the great milestone of 100 million users within 2 months after its launch. ChatGPT has passed law, business, and medical exams, and outperformed students in microbiology. It could become the best assistance we could've ever dreamed about, especially in medicine and healthcare.” [READ MORE]( WHY IT'S IMPORTANT? In this video, I summarized 6 things to expect from and around ChatGPT in the next year! [WE USED MIDJOURNEY TO DESIGN DIGITAL HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Text-to-image AI generators like Midjourney, DALL-E or Stable Diffusion became popular and widely used in the past year. Although these algorithms have their limitations, feeding them with the right prompts can result in spectacular images. So much so that this one generated by Midjourney even won an art prize. My initial quest for this experiment was to test whether these generators are able to come up with viable-looking product designs for a variety of digital health products. Can we use them to stumble upon brand-new ideas or revolutionary new concepts? [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? It seems certain types of devices have already reached their peak design which is good news. [NABLA LAUNCHES COPILOT USING GPT-3 TO TURN PATIENT CONVERSATIONS INTO ACTION]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Now, a French startup called Nabla claims to be the first to build a tool using GPT-3 to help physicians do their work — more specifically, their paperwork. "Following along as doctors see patients, Copilot automatically translates those conversations into different document-based endpoints — eg, prescriptions, follow up appointment letters, consultation summaries — that typically result from those meetings."t kept private. Technically, almost any data transmitted online is hackable." [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? I just said a week ago that very soon we would see a #digitalhealth company implementing ChatGPT into its service. [THE 2023 SKIN-CHECKING LANDSCAPE: INFOGRAPHIC]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Check out The Medical Futurist's newest infographic, in which we compiled a list of skin-checking apps. They are a great tool for identifying suspicious lesions in general, and some of these apps are even AI-based. The most useful skin-checking applications allow users to take pictures of their suspicious skin lesions, upload these pictures to a server, the images are first evaluated by an AI algorithm and the results will be later validated by a dermatologist. [READ MORE]( WHY DO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT? The need for such applications is obvious. Skin cancer is one of the most common cancer types worldwide: one in five people in the U.S. is expected to receive a skin cancer diagnosis during their lifetime.
