"Google's MedLM: Revolutionizing Healthcare with AI Models"

Google has introduced MedLM, a family of generative AI models specifically designed for the healthcare industry. MedLM is based on Med-PaLM 2, a Google-developed model that performs at an "expert level" on medical exam questions. The models are available to Google Cloud customers in the U.S. and are aimed at aiding healthcare workers in completing tasks. Google is offering two MedLM models, one for complex tasks and another for scaling across tasks. However, there are concerns about the accuracy and potential risks of using generative AI models in healthcare, as they have been found to provide inaccurate responses and propagate disinformation. Google claims to be cautious in releasing these tools and is committed to ensuring their safe and responsible use.
