Artificial intelligence in the prescription of acute medical treatments in primary healthcare – comparison of the performance of family physicians and ChatGPT

This study suggests that AI - specifically ChatGPT v3.5 - can match or even outperform physicians in terms of therapeutic decision accuracy, with a similar or slightly better success rate than human doctors. This highlights the potential for AI to act as an effective auxiliary tool rather than a replacement for healthcare professionals. AI is most effective when used in collaboration with healthcare professionals, augmenting their capabilities and improving overall healthcare delivery. Ultimately, AI can serve as a powerful aid to healthcare professionals, helping improve patient care and healthcare outcomes, particularly in primary care.
