Google Will Soon Launch Medical AI Tool Med-PaLM 2, Know What It Is And How Will It Work

According to sources, Google is now testing an artificial intelligence (AI) programme designed to correctly answer medical inquiries. Since April, the AI tool, known as Med-PaLM 2 (a variation of PaLM 2), has been tested at the Mayo Clinic and other research facilities. Med-PaLM 2 is based on Google's language model called Bard. According to the story, the IT giant believes that its revised approach will be especially valuable in areas where "access to doctors is limited."

Features of Med-PaLM 2

Med-PALM 2 will be better at health-related talks than standard chatbots like Bard, Bing, and ChatGPT, according to the business, because it will be trained on a handpicked set of medical demonstrations. That is, the emphasis will be on health data in particular. Aside from that, the article adds that consumers testing MED-PALM 2 will be able to govern their data, which will be totally secure and not accessible to Google.

Med-PaLM 2 will access encrypted data

Google guarantees that clients who are testing Med-PaLM 2 will keep control over their encrypted data, with no access to it. While Greg Corrado, Senior Research Director at Google, concedes that Med-PaLM 2 is still in its early phases, he believes it might dramatically improve healthcare where AI can be beneficial. Furthermore, Google recently changed its privacy policies to explain that publicly available data may be used to train its language models, and to replace the phrase "AI models" with "language models." This update demonstrates Google's commitment to data transparency.
