AI in Medicine: Pitfalls and Potential
Frontiers in Medicine 2024

Pandora’s box has opened in the form of publicly available generative AI systems—where human versus generated content can no longer be distinguished reliably. How is this new capability reshaping medicine? With a global scarcity of medical providers pitted against the unlimited demand of people in need, AI’s potential to democratize health care knowledge and access is desperately needed. But is it safe? Dr. Chen, part of a new breed of physician-scientist dually trained in medicine and computer science, will illuminate the unique opportunities and pitfalls of AI in medicine and help distinguish reality from fantasy.
