The race for tailored medical AI models is heating up. Google and DeepMind have just released a new paper describing Med-Gemini, a group of advanced AI models targeting healthcare applications. Authors claim that Med-Gemini is outperforming competing models such as GPT-4 of OpenAI. However, the latter is not lagging behind in the medical arena, recently expanding its collaboration with Moderna, a large pharmaceutical company.
Med-Gemini’s striking leap forward, if validated in real-world settings, is its ability to capture context and temporality; a known pitfall in existing health-related AI models. It’s true, we, physicians, are notorious for our abbreviations and lack of uniformity in documentation. Nonetheless, the true challenge in training medical algorithms is not the textual complexity – but rather...
