ChatGPT passes US Medical Licensing Exam

ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence chatbot that responds to user questions and prompts in a conversational manner and with comprehensive data, recently passed the US Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE), the standard test qualifying someone to practice medicine.

The Daily Mail reports that the tech company AnsibleHealth conducted the study and their researchers said, "Reaching the passing score for this notoriously difficult expert exam, and doing so without any human reinforcement, marks a notable milestone in clinical AI maturation."

The researchers wrote that ChatGPT "possesses the partial ability to teach medicine by surfacing novel and nonobvious concepts that may not be in the learners' sphere of awareness" and "AIs are now positioned to soon become ubiquitous in clinical practice, with diverse applications across all healthcare sectors."
