Why Doctors Are Losing to AI?

Would You Trust AI Over Your Doctor?

A recent study revealed surprising results in a showdown between ChatGPT and doctors.

Key findings:

• ChatGPT’s Accuracy: Diagnosed medical cases with 90% accuracy.

• Doctors Without AI: Scored an average of 74%.

• Doctors Using AI: Slightly better at 76%, but far below the AI itself.

What went wrong?

• Doctors Ignored AI: Many dismissed suggestions when they conflicted with their own.

• Underutilised AI: Some didn’t fully understand how to leverage its potential.

Dr. Rodman, a co-designer of the study, admitted being “shocked” by AI’s dominance.

The conclusion:

• AI has immense potential in healthcare but needs better integration into clinical practice.

• Doctors need training to collaborate effectively with AI tools.

The future of healthcare may lie in a powerful doctor-AI partnership.

In a Sunday BBC News segment, an AI recreation of the famous British broadcaster’s voice speaking about his new series “Asia” was played next to a real recording, with little to no difference between the two.

In response, the 98-year-old Sir David Attenborough sent the following statement to BBC News: 

“Having spent a lifetime trying to speak what I believe to be the truth, I am profoundly disturbed to find that these days, my identity is being stolen by others and greatly object to them using it to say whatever they wish.”
