Chatbot claims to beat GPs at medical exam: The Royal College of General Practitioners disputes the abilities of Babylon's software.


Aiming your chatbot at published, purposefully language clue-filled test items from the MRCGP exam seems to me to be more about self-publicity than actually funding and proving proper clinically valid tests of performance. Yes, this AI technology will, in time, have specific (but limited) expertise in triage but will not replace GPs by proving they are better on an MCQ quiz. Perhaps Babylon should subscribe to something like OnExamination to really give it a grilling.
