Comparative performance of large language models on cardiovascular certification simulation exam

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in medical practice and has demonstrated sufficient clinical acumen to pass several licensing examinations. We tested the ability of 3 popular large-language models, ChatGPT-4.0 (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), and Bing AI (Microsoft), to pass a cardiovascular medicine board-style exam. Of these AI platforms, only ChatGPT-4.0 was able to achieve a score similar to human participants.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in medical practice and has demonstrated sufficient clinical acumen to pass several licensing examinations. We tested the ability of 3 popular large-language models, ChatGPT-4.0 (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), and Bing AI (Microsoft), to pass a cardiovascular medicine board-style exam. Of these AI platforms, only ChatGPT-4.0 was able to achieve a score similar to human participants.
