CME CREDIT: CAN CHATGPT SUPPORT BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH? WITH CATHERINE GAO, MD AND YUAN LUO, PHD

Featuring: Catherine Gao, MD, ​​Yuan Luo, PhD

Episode Summary

Northwestern scientists Yuan Luo, PhD, and Catherine Gao, MD, discuss a study they conducted using the artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT. The results showcase the online tool's ability to produce convincing medical research abstracts. They also discuss the tool’s potential to help with writing-intensive tasks in healthcare and medical research.  

​“Like any kind of technology, it can be used in a positive way or in a negative way. I was just really impressed with how articulate the ChatGPT was and how smooth the text was. I think there's great potential for technology like this to help relieve some of the burden, that burden of writing that scientists have to really kind of enable them to focus more on the science.” — Catherine Gao, MD
​
“ChatGPT, it's already born. It cannot be ‘unborn,’ right? So banning the technology won't work. And we'll all need to learn to use it and evolve with it.”  — Yuan Luo, PhD​​
 Catherine Gao, MD Instructor of Medicine in the division of Pulmonary and Critical Care​
