From Penn LDI:
Although the idea of making artificial intelligence (AI) large language models full partners with clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of patients is the most exciting potential for the innovative technology, the head of the just-launched Wharton Healthcare Analytics Lab (WHAL) emphasizes how caution will guide its work in this exploding new area of health services research.
“When you’re talking about AI and machine learning (ML) in health care, there are a great many challenges and potential unintended consequences,” explained LDI Senior Fellow Hamsa Bastani, PhD, a Co-Director of the new Wharton data initiative focused on health care delivery systems.
