In June, Microsoft revealed it had built an AI-powered medical tool it claims is four times more successful than human doctors at diagnosing complex ailments.
But research by the MIT’s Jameel Clinic in June found that AI models, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4, Meta’s Llama 3 and Palmyra-Med — a healthcare focused LLM — recommended a much lower level of care for female patients, and suggested some patients self-treat at home instead of seeking help.
A separate study by the MIT team showed that OpenAI’s GPT-4 and other models also displayed answers that had less compassion towards Black and Asian people seeking support for mental health problems.
That suggests “some patients could receive much less supportive guidance based purely on their perceived race by the model”, said Marzyeh Ghassemi, associate professor at MIT’s Jameel Clinic.
