Altman: ChatGPT Diagnoses Better Than Doctors, But Humans Still Matter

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, thinks AI is now better at diagnosing illnesses than many human doctors.

He shared this idea at a conference, highlighting AI's growing role in medicine.

However, he still wants doctors to be involved in healthcare, not just AI.

He worries about entrusting medical care completely to AI.

Meanwhile, AI is being used more in healthcare to help doctors.

One person in Australia was surprised when their doctor used ChatGPT during an appointment and filed a complaint.

Altman also warned about how AI could be misused for things like voice scams.
