Comparative Performance of Medical Students, ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4.0 in Answering Questions From a Brazilian National Medical Exam: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study

The main barriers are validation, usability, utility, and ethics [24]. More global research is still needed to generate more data on the use of AI in medicine. Only after extensive proof of superiority will its use be legalized [25]. Utility refers to the functionality of a tool being studied and improved through research and its use in various functions, while usability refers to the ability of health care professionals to use the tool to achieve satisfactory results [25].

Ethical Design of Data-Driven Decision Support Tools for Improving Cancer Care: Embedded Ethics Review of the 4D PICTURE Project

Ethical Design of Data-Driven Decision Support Tools for Improving Cancer Care: Embedded Ethics Review of the 4D PICTURE Project

This paper provides a detailed overview of the ethics of data-driven DSTs because of the link to a particular project, as well as reference to broader ethical aspects (eg, the ethics of interdisciplinary collaboration or psychological safety in research teams) that are often neglected. We find that this work has relevance beyond the 4 D PICTURE project as it is the first review-type paper explicitly grounded in the Embedded Ethics approach.
