Dr Neil Guha is Professor of Hepatology at the University of Nottingham, an NHS consultant and Research scientist.
He recently published an excellent paper in the journal of medical AI on a ML model to rate risk for liver disease. -
Episode 35: the use of Large Language Models in medical research, with Fiona Morrison
A year ago, very soon after the release of ChatGPT there was an article in Nature with the curious title… ChatGPT listed as author on research papers: many scientists disapprove
Since then, the use of LLMs in medical research has exploded, including as a coauthor of articles. But how is it being used? Does it matter? Does it undermine the human authors? And does it risk the quality of the research?
With me to discuss this is a brilliant up and coming researcher at the Universal Scientific Education and Research Network, Fiona Morrison. -
