How AI is Changing Medical Exams: From GPT-3.5 to GPT-4
An interesting study looked at how GPT models, in its different versions, answers questions in German medical exams, specifically in anatomy. The study found that newer versions, like GPT-4, perform much better than older versions like GPT-3.5, and even outscore many medical students. This raises questions about the potential use of AI in medicine and education.
GPT-3.5 vs. GPT-4: The Test Results
Researchers tested GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 on multiple-choice questions from German medical exams. GPT-3.5 had a moderate success rate, answering correctly about 60–64% of the questions. However, GPT-4 performed exceptionally well, scoring 93% on one exam and 100% on another.
Does GPT-4 Beat Medical Students?
The study showed that GPT-4 scored much higher than medical students on similar exams, reaching an average of 96%, while students averaged around 72%. This result shows how AI could become a valuable tool in medical training, perhaps as a study partner or tutor.
The Impact on Medical Education
Models like GPT-4 could be a big help in studying for exams or understanding difficult topics. However, it also brings some concerns. Some worry that students might rely too…
