Everyone is talking about #ChatGPT and how it could save healthcare. But is it even possible to use it in #medicine , and what would the regulatory compliance journey look like? We've covered it all in our latest blog.

If you are building ‘ChatGPT’ for medicine, you are likely building a medical device. That means you need regulatory approval. And that means you need to qualify any third party providers (e.g OpenAI) to ensure they comply. Which they don’t. So you can’t.

Literally all I do as a statistician: No. No. That's not the definition of a p-value. No. Trending towards significance is not a thing. No. No pie charts! That only works if data is normal. No. That's logistic regression not AI. No. Your "novel" method was invented in 1918. No.

@Jeremy_Hunt @JohnsHopkins You might want to read that paper before claiming it supports your argument. Staff levels have no effect.

A few months later, the RCP distanced themselves from Babylon and all online references to the event were taken down. Matt Hancock got involved somehow - we know how that turned out..

Has anyone yet figured out exactly why VCs are so attracted to generative AI that that can produce infinite amounts of bullshit? Asking for a friend...

As clinicians we were set the task of linking the probabilities of various diseases and symptoms, however random. A Herculean task that quickly became a joke - what is the probability of someone with RUQ pain having rhinitis? You can't answer this question with any accuracy.

1/6 Everyone reading and talking about Google's "breakthrough" lung nodule detection paper in @NatureMedicine should also take at look at these, some of which report higher accuracy metrics, on a range of similar tasks.

More and more hyped up demos came out - AI facial recognition, voice-to-text - anything to jump on the latest AI crazes. Almost all of it was vapourware. The company raised more and more money, expanding and hiring as if money was unlimited.

I love how doctors have been saying this for ages, but no-one believes them, and when a former google CEO says it, everyone listens.

Former Google CEO says artificial intelligence won't replace your doctor

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that he'd still want a human calling the shots but supported by the latest technology.

The chatbot didn't work. The regulators came knocking and my job became to deal with them. I read the medical device regulations cover to cover, and worked my ass off to get a Class I self certification (allowed at the time). Babylon wanted FDA approval but of course never got it
