AN AI bot may be better at diagnosing patients in emergency care than real doctors, a study shows.
ChatGPT performed as well or better as real-life medics when given the same doctor’s notes of a patient, Dutch researchers found.

Dr Hidde ten Berg, of Jeroen Bosch Hospital, said: “We found that ChatGPT performed well in generating a list of likely diagnoses and suggesting the most likely option.
“We also found a lot of overlap with the doctors’ lists of likely diagnoses.
