Hospitals struggle to validate AI-generated clinical summaries Click here to read AI health care companies say they’ll keep humans in the loop. But what does that actually mean? “‘Human in the loop’ is a stop-gap solution to make progress and punt questions around trust, liability, cross population performance, and a full accounting of the consequences of algorithm-guided work to a later date,” Stanford Health Care’s chief data scientist Nigam Shah told STAT. “It’s basically a get out of jail free card in my view.” Click here to read

Akshay Chaudhari's group publishes new paper in Nature Medicine on adapting open-source and closed-source large language models for clinical text summarization tasks. We present a framework for quantitative and qualitative evaluation of language models, showing that the best adapted models can even outperform medical experts.
