Department of Medical and Clinical Pharmacology, Centre of Pharmacovigilance and Pharmacoepidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, Toulouse University Hospital (CHU), Toulouse, France.

Published: October 2023

Purpose: Recently, there has been a growing interest in using ChatGPT for various applications in Medicine. We evaluated the interest of OpenAI chatbot (GPT 4.0) for drug information activities at Toulouse Pharmacovigilance Center.

Methods: Based on a series of 50 randomly selected questions sent to our pharmacovigilance center by healthcare professionals or patients, we compared the level of responses from the chatbot GPT 4.0 with those provided by specialists in pharmacovigilance.

Results: Chatbot answers were globally not acceptable. Responses to inquiries regarding the assessment of drug causality were not consistently precise or clinically meaningful.

Conclusion: The interest of chatbot assistance needs to be confirmed or rejected through further studies conducted in other pharmacovigilance centers.

The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiological image analysis is rapidly evolving. This study evaluates the diagnostic performance of Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer Omni (GPT-4 Omni) in detecting intracranial hemorrhages (ICHs) in non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) images, along with its ability to classify hemorrhage type, stage, anatomical location, and associated findings. A retrospective study was conducted using 240 cases, comprising 120 ICH cases and 120 controls with normal findings.
