Exploring the Capabilities and Risk Delineation of Generative AI in Medical Applications
Ethical discussions on the application of generative artificial intelligence(AI)in healthcare require careful and clear delineation of two fundamental issues.On one hand,the delineation of"capabilities"aims to clarify the core advantages and technical limitations of generative AI in medical applications.Based on species differences,it is essential to delineate the key differences between generative AI medical applications and traditional medical AI,avoiding falling into the trap of"ChatGPT omnipotence"or"ChatGPT impotence".On the other hand,the delineation of"risks"aims to distinguish the categories and characteristics of problems brought about by generative AI medical applications,clarifying the unique nature and roots of different risks.This includes common risks of traditional AI,unique risks of generative AI,and characteristic risks associated with the integration of generative AI with medical practice.This promotes the classification and management of risks and advances the continuous improvement of ethical governance.
