Can artificial intelligence chatbots outperform human doctors? Here's what new Stanford study found
Briefly

Recent studies from Stanford University reveal that AI, particularly ChatGPT, outperformed doctors in diagnosing ailments and making complex clinical decisions. With AI scoring 90% in diagnosis compared to human doctors' 74-76%, it demonstrates significant potential in medical settings. However, Dr. Jonathan H. Chen cautions that while AI can enhance medical expertise, it should not replace human judgment. Instead, it should serve as a complementary tool in healthcare, ensuring that patients still receive comprehensive care.
In the first experiment testing diagnosis powers, doctors who did not have access to ChatGPT received a score of 74%. Doctors who had access to ChatGPT scored slightly better at 76%. But the AI alone scored 90%.
So, what's the upshot? If the AI is so good, should human doctors get out of its way? Dr. Chen says chatbots may be a valuable complement to human expertise, but warns it's not a replacement.
