The Mayo Clinic research hospital has been testing Google’s Med-PaLM 2, an AI tool for responding to medical inquiries, since April.
PaLM 2
It’s a variation of PaLM 2, which was unveiled in May at Google I/O. Google thinks the modified model can be useful in nations with poor access to medical care. Med-PaLM 2 is more adept at engaging in healthcare-related conversations than more broad chatbots like Bard, Bing, and ChatGPT since it was trained on a selected group of medical expert demos.
Research reveals that Med-PaLM 2 still has accuracy problems, with doctors identifying more errors and irrelevant data in Google’s Med-PaLM and Med-PalM 2 replies than other medical professionals.
Customers who are testing Med-PaLM 2 will be in control of their encrypted data, and Google won’t have access to it.
