ChatGPT Fails at Recommending Cancer Treatment, Study Finds

[ad_1] As close and tempting as they sound, cancer treatment regimens designed by artificial intelligence tools are riddled with errors and still likely years away.Computer-designed cancer treatment plans generated by OpenAI Inc.'s ChatGPT were plagued with a familiar problem, researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital found: Inappropriate treatment recommendations were intermingled with correct ones, making them especially hard to distinguish, according to the study published Thursday in the journal JAMA Oncology. ChatGPT “speaks oftentimes in a very sure way that seems to make sense, and the way that it can mix incorrect and correct information is potentially dangerous,” said Danielle Bitterman, an oncologist and study coauthor at the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine program of th...

Particle physics pushing cancer treatment boundaries

[ad_1] Researchers at Europe's science lab CERN, who regularly use particle physics to challenge our understanding of the universe, are also applying their craft to upend the limits to cancer treatment. The physicists here are working with giant particle accelerators in search of ways to expand the reach of cancer radiation therapy, and take on hard-to-reach tumours that would otherwise have been fatal. In one CERN lab, called CLEAR, facility coordinator Roberto Corsini stands next to a large, linear particle accelerator consisting of a 40-metre metal beam with tubes packed in aluminium foil at one end, and a vast array of measurement instruments and protruding colourful wires and cables. The research here, he told AFP during a recent visit, is aimed at creating very high energy...
