TY - JOUR AU - AB - The recent release of ChatGPT, a chat bot research project/product of natural language processing (NLP) by OpenAI, stirs up a sensation among both the general public and medical professionals, amassing a phe- nomenally large user base in a short time. This is a typical example of the ‘productization’ of cutting-edge technologies, which allows the gen- eral public without a technical background to gain firsthand experience in artificial intelligence (AI), similar to the AI hype created by AlphaGo (DeepMind Technologies, UK) and self-driving cars (Google, Tesla, etc.). However, it is crucial, especially for healthcare researchers, to remain pru- dent amidst the hype. This work provides a systematic review of existing publications on the use of ChatGPT in healthcare, elucidating the ‘status quo’ of ChatGPT in medical applications, for general readers, healthcare professionals as well as NLP scientists. The large biomedical literature database PubMed is used to retrieve published works on this topic us- ing the keyword ‘ChatGPT’. An inclusion criterion and a taxonomy are further proposed to filter the search results and categorize the selected publications, respectively. It is found through the review that the current release of ChatGPT has achieved only moderate or ‘passing’ performance in a variety of TI - ChatGPT in Healthcare: A Taxonomy and Systematic Review DO - 10.1101/2023.03.30.23287899 DA - 2023-03-30 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/chatgpt-in-healthcare-a-taxonomy-and-systematic-review-0T0R0VjOrE DP - DeepDyve ER -
