AI models can aid medical decisions but imitation alone is insufficient

A new research paper explores the potential of large language models (LLMs) in assisting with medical decision-making. The study differentiates between the core 'treatment problem' and the 'chat problem,' arguing that while imitation-based chat capabilities are useful, they cannot fully solve the complex treatment problem. The authors highlight significant ethical challenges related to experimentation and observational assumptions when training LLMs for medical applications, using cholesterol medications as a case study.
