Google’s Healthcare AI: Empathetic, Accurate Alternative to Doctors

The Promise of Conversational Diagnostic AI in Healthcare

The advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is opening up new possibilities in healthcare and medicine. At the heart of healthcare workflows is the physician, and the physician-patient dialogue is the initial engagement point where diagnosis and care management begin. However, a recent research paper from Google scientists titled “Towards Conversational Diagnostic AI” suggests that AI systems trained to conduct medical interviews could potentially match or even surpass the performance of human doctors.
