LLMs lack crucial socio-communicative skills for healthcare roles

A recent study evaluated the socio-communicative competencies of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4o, Llama 3, and Command R+ in healthcare settings. Researchers found that while these models demonstrated non-hostility, they performed poorly in structuring information and showed mixed results in sensitivity and non-intrusiveness. The findings suggest that current LLMs lack the necessary consistent and reliable social skills for safe and effective use as healthcare advisors, necessitating adaptations to existing assessment frameworks for human-AI interaction.
