ChatGPT-4o as a diagnostic tool for skin cancer: Diagnostic accuracy in melanoma and non-melanoma detection

ChatGPT-4o showed variable diagnostic accuracy for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. Dermoscopic images reduced performance for certain diagnostic categories. These misclassifications highlight the potential for unnecessary interventions and patient anxiety underscoring that AI-based systems should serve as supportive aids rather than standalone diagnostic tools.

Abstract

ChatGPT-4o showed variable diagnostic accuracy for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. Dermoscopic images reduced performance for certain diagnostic categories. These misclassifications highlight the potential for unnecessary interventions and patient anxiety underscoring that AI-based systems should serve as supportive aids rather than standalone diagnostic tools.
