About this listen

Just months ago, millions of people were stunned by ChatGPT's amazing abilities–and its bizarre hallucinations. But that was 2022. GPT-4 is now here, with smarter, more accurate, and deeper technical knowledge. GPT-4 and its competitors and followers are on the verge of transforming medicine. But with lives on the line, you need to understand these technologies–stat.

What can they do? What can't they do–yet? What shouldn't they ever do? To decide, experience the cutting edge for yourself. Join three insiders who've had months of early access to GPT-4 as they reveal its momentous potential to improve diagnoses, summarize patient visits, streamline processes, accelerate research, and much more. You'll see real GPT-4 dialogues–unrehearsed and unfiltered, brilliant and blundering alike–all annotated with invaluable context, candid commentary, real risk insights, and up-to-the-minute takeaways.

In this audiobook, you will:

  • Preview a day in the life of a doctor with a true AI assistant.
  • See how AI can enhance doctor-patient encounters at the bedside and beyond.
  • Learn how modern AI works, why it can fail, and how it can be tested to earn trust.
  • Empower patients: improve access and equity, fill gaps in care, and support behavior change.
  • Ask better questions and get better answers with "prompt engineering."
  • Leverage AI to cut waste, uncover fraud, streamline reimbursement, and lower costs.
  • Optimize clinical trials and accelerate cures with AI as a research collaborator.
  • Find the right guardrails and gain crucial insights for regulators and policymakers.
  • Sketch possible futures: What dreams may come next?

There has never been technology like this. Whether you're a physician, patient, healthcare leader, payer, policymaker, or investor, AI will profoundly impact you–and it might make the difference between life or death. Be informed, be ready, and take charge with this book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Incredibly Powerful Book : must read for all

Don’t let the title fool you. This discussion goes far beyond medicine. It just so happens that medicine is the perfect way to show how exceptional this technology is and how it will change dramatically the we and our children will be living into. Brilliant

Levering AI in future medicine

I am currently employed at a company specializing in the development of diagnostic medical devices, with a particular focus on host response testing. As I contemplate the future landscape of diagnostics, I envision a significant role for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing the context-specific understanding of patient data. This, in turn, could potentially revolutionize clinical reasoning and decision-making processes for healthcare professionals.

The book I recently read served as a revelation, shedding light on both the potential applications and inherent limitations of AI in the medical field. It was an enlightening read that I thoroughly enjoyed. The book stimulated a plethora of thoughts, ideas, and queries that I believe will be instrumental in guiding my future professional endeavors. Kudos to the author for such an insightful piece of work. Barak Hershkovitz, MD

Great insight on AI in Medicine

I listened to this book mostly to be able to debate a doctor friend of mine who definitively stated that AI would not be used in medicine in the next five years. I completely disagreed and we made a non-monetary bet on the subject. This book did a great job of highlighting how this technology will assist in medicine while also outlining the moral and technical challenges that will come along with implementation. Somewhere towards the later third of the audiobook, I became less engaged and I can't quite put my finger on it as to why. Perhaps everything I needed to know was already stated in the previous chapters. This is why I only gave it four stars vs. five.

A first crack at the Wild West of Medical AI

I’m going to be a bit cagey about details, but I will say that I work at a startup that has been working on tangential technologies to those discussed here in the medical field. After finishing this book, I now consider it required reading (for anyone who is working in the Medical field with some emphasis in emerging smart technologies), mainly for two reasons. First and foremost, it is a solid introduction to GPT 4 and the associated technology behind it presented in a manner the non-technical reader can appreciate and comprehend. The second is that it provides crucial context in the perspective of someone who primarily works in the medical field but has enough background in the technical side of things to not get too swept away in how “magical” these tools can occasionally present themselves.

So, if you are building AI tech for any field with the kind of requirements for accuracy and precision that saves lives in the medical field, then I highly recommend this book. This is a new frontier, like the internet before it, and I expect to see certain similar trends in the coming decade or so.

this is a great book for this exact moment in time. Read it now

I think this is very timely and requires sort of immediate review since two years from now. will be on to something else. I really enjoyed it and will probably use it and upcoming book club. My biggest criticism is The authors spent a lot of time in the weeds with the GLP one receptor agonist. that got a little old. could have diversified the examples

What a bunch of garbage...

What if I just talked to a chat bot for 6 hours and told you about it as if I discovered the first alien civilization. Holy moly, as an AI engineer, not only is this such a self aggrandization and a rush to just be the first to write SOMETHING, it's useless information. it's the story of a child who finds his father's gun. A lot of question positing and asking ChatGPT for the answer but literally no actual information based in reality. I get it, you are enamoured by chatGPT, doesn't mean everything it spits out to your question is worth publicizing as if it just solved P versus NP. Why not actually discuss something useful, technical details, technical limitations, morals, ethics, what is an LLM, what is ChatGPT actually doing? You certainly name your chapters after these challenging topics, but all you do is ask ChatGPT in this suspenseful manner as if you found a hidden secret only for it to respond in the most milquetoast mundane cautious way. have clinicians become such machines that the slightest semblance of human conversation regarding medicine is novel? The breakthrough here isn't that chatGPT is going to improve medicine, it's that clinicians have become borderline sociopaths and can only treat people like humans when a chatbot recommends it to them.

Self-Serving Junk

This is the Microsoft equivalent to Steve Jobs writing a book about how great the iPhone is but under the self-proclaimed guise of an unbiased perspective. As a physician who researches AI, I can say this is largely an overly verbose and one-sided review of how amazing the authors think GPT4 is. One of the main authors is an executive at Microsoft…

What’s more is that this is actually an extremely narrow take on AI in healthcare as there are many more medically knowledgeable AI machines and more applications for AI than helping an individual doctor for a single patient. I do not recommend.
