In Italy there are too many patients who load their analysis on chatgpt

The last press release of the Privacy Guarantor opens a problem. It’s a warning, maybe more advice That opens like this: “The practice of loading clinical analyzes, radiographs and other medical reports on the generative artificial intelligence platforms asking for interpretations and diagnosis is increasingly widespread”.

The guarantor does not provide data, not even generic. On the other hand it would be difficult to get them. So let’s imagine that he has chosen to expose himself starting from the reports, perhaps precisely from health personnel. The practice to which the press release refers is to use chatgpt or any other artificial intelligence to give aOpinion on medical reports.

To do this they want us a few minutes. A document is loaded, both photos and in PDF formatand artificial intelligence is asked to analyze the parameters and provide a diagnosis. We did some tests: the exams are always processed and analyzed. When we asked Chatgpt if we could load them the answer was: “Certainly! Can you load the medical report you want to analyze?”.

Chatgpt passes the most famous test to distinguish humans from robots: the testimony

Because the guarantor asks not to share the data

The problems raised by the guarantor are two. The first is that the health data is Among the most sensitive data that we have. The Guarantor explains: “They are of extraordinary importance for people”. The second is that these artificial intelligence could give wrong answers On important issues: “qualified human supervision must be guaranteed in all phases of the life cycle of the IA system, from development to training”.

A basic artificial intelligence

Certain. The possibility that in the coming years we will see enter artificial intelligence Even in healthcare it is not so remote. In June we published an in -depth analysis on this theme, you can find it with the title because your next radiologist could be an artificial intelligence.

On the contrary. In Italy artificial intelligence could also help to speed up part of the Requests that besiege a health system Not exactly healthy. It is a process that must be regulated, understood and studied. And above all followed. Otherwise the first case of patient who interrupts chemotherapy Because “the Ia said” could be very close.
