One in five GPs in the UK are using generative AI tools like ChatGPT to assist with tasks such as writing documentation and suggesting alternative diagnoses, despite the lack of formal training and regulatory guidelines, according to a study in the British Medical Journal. Dr. Charlotte Blease from Uppsala University highlighted the risks, including AI's tendency to "hallucinate" (make things up) and potential patient privacy breaches. The study surveyed over 1,000 doctors, revealing that 28% use AI for diagnostic suggestions and 29% for generating documentation. While 81% of NHS staff support AI for patient care and administrative tasks, there is a pressing need for targeted training and concrete advice for doctors.
