The AI revolution in medicine: GPT-4 and beyond explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. Written by professors Peter Lee, Carey Goldberg, and Isaac Kohane, it offers a balanced view of AI’s role, focusing on GPT-4.

The book highlights the impressive capabilities of GPT-4, for example, its extensive knowledge and ability to assist doctors in decision-making. It emphasizes the importance of combining AI with human expertise since AI alone cannot replace a doctor’s understanding of real-life medical situations.

The book’s real-world examples demonstrate how GPT-4’s interdisciplinary knowledge and diagnostic abilities have improved patient outcomes. However, the book also acknowledges limitations and challenges, such as errors and difficulties in using web search effectively. It suggests special techniques and programming to enhance GPT-4’s performance. 

The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it understandable for both healthcare professionals and general readers. It includes case studies to show the potential impact of AI in various medical scenarios. It also consists of many sample conversations with ChatGPT on various scenarios, such as asking ChatGPT to explain a medical benefits letter and asking how a patient might feel. The book also questions how ChatGPT can be trained on such extensive data and which sources this data is coming from.

Overall, The AI revolution in medicine: GPT-4 and beyond is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, and anyone interested in AI in medicine. It encourages collaboration between AI and human expertise, and prompts critical thinking for further advancements in the field.
