Changing Opinions About AI in Health Care

As AI tools like large language models move rapidly toward real-world application in health care, key questions remain about how best to evaluate them. A JAMA+ AI podcast features David Rhew, MD, Microsoft’s Global Chief Medical Officer, discussing the opportunities and challenges. Reflecting on the rapid evolution of the technology, Rhew notes that even opinions about the technology from 6 months ago “may need to be reassessed—because it’s definitely gotten a lot better.” He also addresses the importance of ensuring AI literacy for clinicians.
