In Battle With Microsoft, Google Bets on Medical AI Program to Crack Healthcare Industry

Google is testing an artificial-intelligence program trained to expertly answer medical questions, racing against rivals including Microsoft

to translate recent AI advances into products that would be used widely by clinicians.

The November release of ChatGPT, a computer program that can fluently respond to a range of queries across subjects, has sparked early experiments at health systems across the U.S. to use the underlying technology in patient care.

Google is betting that its medical chatbot technology, which is called Med-PaLM 2, will be better at holding conversations on healthcare issues than more general-purpose algorithms because it has been fed questions and answers from medical licensing exams. The company began testing the system with customers including the research hospital Mayo Clinic in April, said people familiar with the matter.

Means and Methods of Warfare and International Humanitarian Law in the Age of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

The development of AI and ML technologies has significantly altered how war is fought, which puts the existing legal system of international humanitarian law in jeopardy. The implications of AI and ML in combat are examined in this abstract, which emphasises the necessity for a thorough knowledge of their potential effects on IHL principles. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are being incorporated into weapon systems, targeting procedures, and decision-making, which has ramifications for distinction, proportionality, and precautions in assault. In the creation, implementation, and application of AI and ML technologies, the abstract emphasises the significance of ensuring accountability, human control, and compliance with IHL. Additionally, it emphasises the necessity of increased communication between nations, international organisations, and specialists to address the moral and legal issues raised. The goal is to increase awareness of the critical concerns involving AI, ML, and IHL and to promote additional study and conversations to make sure that these developments in combat adhere to the IHL's guiding principles of humanity, distinction, and proportionality.
