Concerns about premature deployment of unproven technology: Senator Mark Warner expressed worries about the potential risks associated with the hasty implementation of generative AI technology in healthcare. He suggested that the rapid rollout of such technology could lead to errors in diagnostics and care delivery, exacerbate racial disparities in health outcomes, and erode trust in medical institutions.
Tech companies rushing to capture market share: Warner highlighted the competitive landscape surrounding generative AI in healthcare. He noted that tech firms are eager to gain a first-mover advantage and are taking risks by deploying fledgling technology in their pursuit to establish market dominance. This trend raises concerns due to the high stakes involved in healthcare and the sensitivity of health information.
Complex new questions and risks with generative AI: Warner pointed out that while AI has been used in healthcare for some time, large language models and other generative AI tools bring forth new complexities and risks. He cited a report in which a Google senior research director acknowledged the need to address these complexities and risks associated with Med-PaLM 2, particularly in answering medical questions, summarizing unstructured texts, and organizing health data.
