Artificial Intelligence has been with us for many years, although not publicly until last year the launch of tools such as ChatGPT and Midjourney, platforms that allow us to generate text and images based on a simple description. If we talk about Artificial Intelligence, we have to talk about one of the oldestDeepMind, a platform created by Google and which has recently shown how it has evolved in a few years.
At the end of 2022, Google published the result of an investigation that had been carried out jointly with DeepMind and Google Research. In this research, the Google team tested the operation of an Artificial Intelligence specifically trained to answer medical questions and see to what extent he was able to compete with doctors.
Obviously, the questions they asked this bot were made with common health problems that do not need a physical analysis by doctors, since, otherwise, it would not make any sense to compare a trained AI with a medical professional. .
The data obtained by the AI and the group of doctors who answered the same questions, was analyzed by independent medical professionals and evaluating the answers offered by Google’s Artificial Intelligence to practically the same level of reliability as those of doctors.
Will AI replace doctors?
Many are the users who turn to Google to find out what is the origin of any type of ailment they suffer, a practice that is not very funny to doctors when patients finally end up physically resorting to the consultation. Due to the pandemic, for aspeed up and not congest health centersmany communities and private health insurance, have begun to implement consultations telematically through a video call.
Seeing the success of the test results, everything seems to indicate that, sooner or later, it is possible that Artificial Intelligence ends up replacing not doctors, but certain types of consultations that do not require auscultation by doctors. Doctors is not a profession that can be endangered by any Artificial Intelligence, at least in the coming decades.
However, you still have a long way to go as the first barrier you need to overcome is understand natural language, that is, learning to know what is the most important information in a conversation with a patient in order to detect what the origin of the problem may be and offer the corresponding solution.
