Artificial Intelligence May Enhance Patient Safety, say Boston University Researchers

Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) uses hundreds of millions, sometimes billions, of data points to train itself to produce realistic and innovative outputs that can mimic human-created content. Its applications include personalized recommendations for online shoppers, creating audio and visual content and accelerating engineering design. In healthcare, possible genAI uses include enhancing imaging technologies, predicting the course of a disease in an individual patient and discovering new vaccines. 

 

Boston University researchers tested an advanced publicly available genAI model, GPT-4, to determine its ability to answer questions across five key areas of patient safety in the 50-question self-assessment for the Certified Professional in Patient Safety exam, a standardized multiple-choice certification exam for patient safety professionals.
