AI could be used to prescribe medications to patients -- if a new bill makes its way through Congress. 🤖 💊 What do doctors think about the proposed legislation? The technology isn't there yet, @adamrodmanmd.bsky.social told MedPage Today. www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

Quick Saturday AM reminder to contact your congresspeople if you're upset about the sudden cuts in NIH indirects (or, like, anything else).

There is a lot of buzz about our new paper in Nature Medicine on the effects of LLMs (GPT-4) on physician management reasoning! I had TONS of fun working on this -- but what it MEANS requires some unpacking. A 🧵⬇️ bsky.app/profile/ucsf...

A new study in @natmedicine.bsky.social finds GPT-4 can enhance physicians’ clinical decision-making, improving open-ended management reasoning. While promising, experts stress the need for human oversight to mitigate risks like AI bias and over-reliance. Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Any studies on the relative sizes of lower extremities in heart failure exacerbation? @sargsyanz.bsky.social (And if no, anyone want to do one?) Best research ideas come from things that annoy you after all!

I don't have anything snide or snarky to say here. I just think it's worth reading this article. Gift link.

Some clinical documentation is busywork and some is the byproduct of thinking critically about the patient. There are an awful lot of people trying to use AI to do away with the latter.

I think often about this experiment at Harvard showing active learning upped test scores by 33%... but students thought they were learning more from non-active lectures The problem: being challenged is the key to learning BUT we hate challenges, they are hard & make you realize how little you know.

🚀The return of BERT, LLMs that beat physicians?!, and the dawn of agents to simulate users. Presenting Santa's nice list for AI! 🎅 - ModernBERT - Superhuman performance of LLMs against Physicians (discussion with author @adamrodmanmd.bsky.social ) - LMagent: A Large-scale Multimodal Agents Society

Independent evaluations of OpenAI’s o3 suggest that it passed math & reasoning benchmarks that were previously considered far out of reach for AI including achieving a score on ARC-AGI that was associated with actually achieving AGI (though the creators of the benchmark don’t think it o3 is AGI)

We have two vacancies for a postdoctoral and PhD researcher at Maastricht University. They will work on the development and application of value-of-information methods for the validation of clinical risk prediction models and medical AI. links below

Our preprint out today! I just don't have the stamina to make threads on both platforms 😅

I really wish there was more interest in benchmarking AI models on real tasks. The fact that there are not 30 different benchmarks from different organizations in medicine, in law, in advice quality, etc. is a big shame. People are using systems for these things anyway & we don’t know implications.

I think a fun teaching exercise for medical students would be to each take a common clinical pearl and trace the citations until you find the primary data it's based on.
