Large Language Models Applied to Health Care Tasks May Improve Clinical Efficiency, Value of Care Rendered, Research, and Medical Education.

Large language models (LLMs) are generative artificial intelligence models that create content on the basis of the data on which it was trained. Processing capabilities have evolved from text only to being multimodal including text, images, audio, and video features. In health care settings, LLMs are being applied to several clinically important areas, including patient care and workflow efficiency, communications, hospital operations and data management, medical education, practice management, and health care research.

Ethical Application of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Medicine.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) may revolutionize health care, providing solutions that range from enhancing diagnostic accuracy to personalizing treatment plans. However, its rapid and largely unregulated integration into medicine raises ethical concerns related to data integrity, patient safety, and appropriate oversight. One of the primary ethical challenges lies in generative AI's potential to produce misleading or fabricated information, posing risks of misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment recommendations, which underscore the necessity for robust physician oversight.

Editorial Commentary: Thoughtful Application of Artificial Intelligence Technique Improves Diagnostic Accuracy and Supportive Clinical Decision-Making.

Medical research within areas of deep learning, particularly in computer vision for medical imaging, has shown promise over the past decade with an increasing volume of technical papers published in orthopaedics related to imaging artificial intelligence (AI). However, as more tools and models are developed and deployed, it is easy for clinicians to get overwhelmed with the different types of models, leaving "artificial intelligence" as an empty buzzword where true value can be unclear. As with surgery, the techniques of deep learning require thoughtful application and cannot follow a one-size-fits-all approach as different problems require differential levels of technical complexity with model application.

Applications of Artificial Intelligence for Health Care Providers.

Recent research shows that physicians lack the knowledge and ability to use artificial intelligence (AI) effectively. We thus introduce a new series of articles, "Applications of Artificial Intelligence for Health Care Providers." Like the arthroscope, AI is a powerful tool, and we must adapt our skills to effectively incorporate and apply this tool in our practices.
