ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI. It uses the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture, specifically designed to understand and generate human-like text based on the input it receives. ChatGPT was launched on 30 November 2022. Although it is an amazing resource GPT 3.5 only has reliable access to the internet up to September 2021 and is usually unable to link to the sources of the information it uses to answer a question. It can still be used for some tasks but anything requiring current information should be done on the GPT 4 version. At the time of writing (26.7.24) Chat GPT 3.5 is free and Chat GPT 4 is $20 USD a month.
***UPDATE 19.8.24 : Circular from A/GM Liverpool Hospital:
Use of ChatGPT in NSW Health NSW Health is in the process of developing a framework for the safe adoption of AI to benefit all levels of the Health System. More information on the established taskforce can be found here: Artificial Intelligence - New health technologies (nsw.gov.au).
SWSLHD is awaiting further advice from NSW Health before any products associated with AI can be utilised, the use of ChatGPT is currently prohibited for use in NSW Heath as it has yet to be through any risk assessments and have any processes implemented for data governance.
Any use of NSW Health information for example patient health information, personal information within ChatGPT could lead to issues of privacy breach, data loss and potential disciplinary action.***
