JAMA and NEJM back $1.5 billion AI ‘that cannot hallucinate’ to answer doctors’ medical questions
AI search engine OpenEvidence has struck deals with JAMA and The New England Journal of Medicine to try to give fully cited answers to medical queries.
However, an expert says basing answers purely on the two journal groups raises new questions about AI bias.
OpenEvidence, which equity investors claim to value at $1.5 billion, has 350,000 users, and is free for doctors to use.
“There’s a lot of benefit of training the language models on evidence-based text,” says Associate Professor Sonika Tyagi, who studies the impact of AI on clinical research at RMIT University in Melbourne.
