Patients are becoming more favorable to having artificial intelligence involved in medicine, according to one study from The Journal of American Medicine, showing that nearly 80% of participants preferred a chatbot’s medical responses over a conventional doctor’s.
“They liked the bedside manner of the A.I. doctor, in this case it was ChatGPT, better than the actual doctors themselves, and they actually felt more comfortable with those answers,” said Chris Winfield, founder of Understanding A.I.
“This is one of the things Elon Musk brought up about OpenAI,” Winfield said. “Is it being trained? Or what are the inputs that are going in? Are they biased? Are they molding the data sets in the wrong way?”
Winfield said one of the most significant driving forces behind the reluctance to accept A.I. is its novel role – not only in medicine and other areas – but in its ability to potentially replace workers.
