Summary: The study investigates the potential propagation of harmful, race-based medical content by four commercially available large language models (LLMs) in healthcare scenarios. The LLMs, including ChatGPT and GPT-4, displayed instances of perpetuating race-based medicine and inconsistencies in responses. Questions about kidney function and lung capacity revealed problematic race-based answers. The study emphasizes the risk of LLMs amplifying biases and causing harm in healthcare, urging caution in their use for medical decision-making. The need for further evaluation, transparency, and addressing potential biases before clinical integration is emphasized.
Summary: This report discusses the importance of preparing for war (jus ante bellum) by developing and deploying AI-enabled weapon systems in a way that minimizes unjust resort to war and unjust fighting during war. It highlights the need for rigorous testing, evaluation, validation, and verification (TEVV) of AI-enabled weapons, along with a gradual fielding approach, clear operational guidelines, and adequate explainability. It also addresses the potential security dilemma in an AI arms race and recommends confidence-building measures and a careful approach to war preparedness.
Summary: The rapid development and adoption of AI have raised ethical concerns, and many organizations are committing to responsible AI principles, including transparency, fairness, non-harm, accountability, and privacy.
