Generative AI in Medicine: Assessing Performance and Limitations

In this study, researchers evaluated the performance of generative AI in medicine by analyzing its accuracy, completeness, and readability. They collected questions from various sources, including guidelines, medical examination question banks, search engines, and expert drafts. The questions were pre-screened for difficulty, type, and professionalism, and the results were analyzed according to the study objectives.
The findings revealed that generative AI performed well in terms of accuracy, with an average accuracy rate of 80%. However, it struggled with completeness, averaging around 50% completion rate. Readability was found to be good, with an average Flesch-Kincaid readability score of 60.
The study also identified limitations of generative AI in medicine, such as the need for more diverse and representative question banks and the potential for bias in the evaluation process. The researchers suggest that future studies should focus on addressing these limitations to improve the accuracy, completeness, and readability of generative AI in medicine.
In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the performance of generative AI in medicine and highlights the need for further research to overcome its limitations. By improving the accuracy, completeness, and readability of generative AI, it can become a valuable tool for medical professionals and patients alike.
