Generative AI and medical documents. What could go wrong?Health ScareIn a new investigation from The Associated Press, dozens of experts have found that Whisper, an AI-powered transcription tool made by OpenAI, is plagued with frequent hallucinations and inaccuracies, with the AI model often inventing completely unrelated text.What's even more concerning, though, is who's relying on the tech, according to the AP: despite OpenAI warning that its model shouldn't be used in "high-risk domains," over 30,000 medical workers and 40 health systems are using Nabla, a tool built on Whisper, to transcribe and summarize patient interactions — almost certainly with inaccurate…

Simple science summaries written by AI help people understand research and trust scientists

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Artificial intelligence-generated summaries of scientific papers make complex information more understandable for the public compared with human-written summaries, according to my recent paper published in PNAS Nexus. AI-generated summaries not only improved public comprehension of science but also enhanced how people perceived scientists. I used a popular large language model, GPT-4 by OpenAI, to create simple summaries of scientific papers; this kind of text is often called a significance statement. The AI-generated summaries used simpler language – they were easier to read according to a readability index and used more common words, like “job” instead of “occupation” – than summaries…

Fighting antibiotic resistance at the source – using machine learning to identify bacterial resistance genes and the drugs to block them

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health problem around the world. When bacteria like E. coli no longer respond to antibiotics, infections become harder to treat. To develop new antibiotics, researchers typically identify the genes that make bacteria resistant. Through laboratory experiments, they observe how bacteria respond to different antibiotics and look for mutations in the genetic makeup of resistant strains that allow them to survive. While effective, this method can be time-consuming and may not always capture the full picture of how bacteria become resistant. For example, changes in how genes work that don’t involve mutations can still influence…

Talking to dead people through AI: the business of ‘digital resurrection’ might not be helpful, ethical… or even legal

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Earlier this year, a Spanish TV programme showed several people listening to digital recreations of the voices of their deceased relatives that had been generated by artificial intelligence from real audios. It sparked widespread debate in both public and professional spheres, as these recreations not only mimicked loved ones’ voices, but also asked poignant, evocative questions, provoking intense emotional reactions. This phenomenon, which has been dubbed “digital resurrection”, involves using advanced AI technology to recreate certain aspects of deceased individuals, such as their voice or physical appearance. While it may offer momentary comfort, such a practice opens a raft of…
