Abstract

Recent advances in AI, especially those of LLMs, bring the prospect of increased adoption of AI in medicine and medical education. In particular, many institutions responsible for medical treatment and education are rapidly aiming to increase AI use in practice and curricula. However, the potential downsides of overuse of AI in these fields are under-discussed. In the rush to AI adoption, sources of healthcare risk such as LLM reliability, patient privacy, financial and environmental costs, vendor dependencies, and AI over-reliance are often not deeply considered. This paper discusses these recent trends and makes recommendations for healthcare institutions considering further adoption of AI.
