AI can now answer medial questions: Google's testing continues on technology

According to reports, Google is testing artificial intelligence (AI)-based software that can adequately respond to inquiries about medical information. According to the source, Med-PaLM 2 (a variant of PaLM 2), a Google AI tool, has been tested since April at the Mayo Clinic, a non-profit organisation based in the US.

The PaLM 2 language model is capable of supporting Google's Bard. The internet giant, according to the report, thinks that areas with "less access to doctors" will benefit the most from its improved technique.

Because it was trained on a selected collection of demos from medical experts, Google thinks Med-PaLM 2 will be more effective at healthcare interactions than chatbots that are more general in their approach, including Bard, Bing, and ChatGPT.

In addition, the report noted that the users using Med-PaLM 2 will be in charge of their encrypted data and that Google won't have access to it. Med-PaLM 2 is still in its infancy, according to Greg Corrado, Google's senior director of research.

Despite not wanting it to be a part of his own family's "healthcare journey," Corrado remarked that he thinks Med-PaLM 2 "takes the places in healthcare where AI can be beneficial and expands them by 10-fold."

Google's privacy guidelines have been modified to reflect the fact that it is permitted to train its artificial intelligence (AI) models using data that is readily accessible to the public. Over the weekend, the internet giant updated "AI models" to "language models" in its policy.
