Google's Med-PaLM 2 artificial intelligence model, which has been tested in some hospitals since April, is said to be designed to answer questions about medical information. It is a variant of the PaLM 2 model, which is the basis of Google's artificial intelligence Bard. Model.
According to an internal email, Google believes that the tool will be very helpful in countries with insufficient medical infrastructure or where it is difficult for patients to see a doctor. In addition, because Med-PaLM 2 has been trained by medical experts, it will be able to provide more effective medical conversations than general chatbots such as Bard and ChatGPT.
Google said in a study published in May that the Med-PaLM 2 model still has some accuracy issues, which is a common problem with large language models. The answers it provides sometimes have more inaccuracies and errors than doctors. Content that is not relevant to the question.

Nonetheless, in almost all other metrics, such as reasoning, the iran telegram model performed almost as well as real-world doctors. But Greg Corrado, senior director of research at Google, said Med-PaLM 2 is still in its early stages.
Corrado also noted that while he doesn't expect artificial intelligence robots to become part of his own home health care, he believes the model could be successful in health care.
Google's research said that customer data used to test Med-PaLM 2 will be encrypted and Google will not have access.
On July 1, Google also updated its privacy policy, stating that any resources or data available on the public network will be used by Google to train its artificial intelligence without copyright disputes.
In addition to Google, OpenAI is also actively developing medical business. Microsoft also teamed up with medical software company Epic in April to create a tool for automatically editing patient information. In addition, Microsoft's cloud service is testing OpenAI's GPT model, allowing it to summarize doctor's notes or generate reminder messages.
