AI promises to reshape our societies, and healthcare is one of the fastest-moving projects! Its ability to analyze gigantic volumes of data far exceeds that of humans. This advantage is increasingly used by doctors, particularly to help them with diagnosis. The arrival of language models, such as ChatGPT and its competitors, has only accelerated this revolution. It paves the way for AI-boosted medical research, where more and more tasks will be automated, for better or for worse.
