Don’t call your favourite AI “doctor” just yetJust_Super/Getty Images Advanced artificial intelligence models score well on professional medical exams but still flunk one of the most crucial physician tasks: talking with patients to gather relevant medical information and deliver an accurate diagnosis. “While large language models show impressive results on multiple-choice tests, their accuracy drops significantly in dynamic conversations,” says Pranav Rajpurkar at Harvard University. “The models particularly struggle with open-ended diagnostic reasoning.” That became evident when researchers developed a method for evaluating a clinical AI model’s reasoning capabilities based on simulated doctor-patient conversations.

As Trump sees it, the Central American country’s behaviour is especially objectionable “knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the US”. Trump has also baselessly alleged that Chinese troops are currently operating the canal. In reality, of course, the Panama…
