Red teaming ChatGPT in medicine to yield real-world insights on model behavior - npj Digital Medicine npj Digital Medicine - Red teaming ChatGPT in medicine to yield real-world insights on model behavior

It’s finally out! We brought a multidisciplinary team of physicians, computer scientists, and engineers to red team LLMs for healthcare uses. And we have shared the dataset! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Required reading If you ever use models to brainstorm.

Really nice study design: Domain expert researchers search for plagiarized papers of LLM- systems that generate research plans. Many successfully find papers, verified by authors of those papers.

But very hard to detect, see screenshot.

Editorial

To evaluate LLMs for clinical applications, we must move beyond fixed, narrowly scoped datasets and develop a suite of benchmarks that reflect the complexity and diversity of real-world clinical tasks.

“It’s Time to Bench the Medical Exam Benchmark” by Inioluwa Deborah Raji, B.A.S., Roxana Daneshjou, M.D., Ph.D., and Emily Alsentzer, Ph.D.

To move forward as a field, clinicians need to design benchmarks that better align with the tasks LLMs are expected to perform upon deployment. Read the editorial by Inioluwa Deborah Raji, BAS, @roxanadaneshjou.bsky.social, and @emilyalsentzer.bsky.social: nejm.ai/3PK8v1D

Medical licensing exams are convenient, but don’t reflect real-world clinical tasks. With LLMs already in EHRs, we need evals to match real-world needs. Let’s partner w/ hospitals piloting these tools to create diverse task-specific evaluations.
