AI Won't Replace ER Doctors Anytime Soon

Artificial intelligence might be able to help doctors by filling out rote paperwork, but it's not going to be useful in the ER anytime soon, a new study shows.

OpenAI's ChatGPT program provided inconsistent conclusions when presented with simulated cases of patients with chest pain, researchers report.

The AI returned different heart risk assessment levels for the exact same patient data -- not something doctors want to see when responding to a medical emergency.

“ChatGPT was not acting in a consistent manner,” said lead researcher Dr. Thomas Heston, an associate professor with Washington State University's Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine.
