Abstract Full text About this article
GPT‐4's advanced natural language processing capabilities can revolutionize patient education and clinical decision‐making in healthcare, providing personalized and easily accessible content. Despite its potential, GPT‐4's integration into healthcare raises important ethical and legal questions, particularly around data security, privacy, and transparency. To fully utilize GPT‐4 in healthcare, further research, comprehensive regulations, and AI training in medical curricula are recommended.

Abstract

GPT‐4's advanced natural language processing capabilities can revolutionize patient education and clinical decision‐making in healthcare, providing personalized and easily accessible content. Despite its potential, GPT‐4's integration into healthcare raises important ethical and legal questions, particularly around data security, privacy, and transparency. To fully utilize GPT‐4 in healthcare, further research, comprehensive regulations, and AI training in medical curricula are recommended.
