Introduction to MedLM Models

Google introduces MedLM, a family of generative AI models fine-tuned for the medical industry, aiming to assist healthcare workers.

Basis in Med-PaLM 2

MedLM is based on Med-PaLM 2, a Google-developed model excelling at an "expert level" in various medical exam questions.

Availability on Google Cloud

MedLM is accessible to U.S. Google Cloud customers through Vertex AI, Google's AI development platform, with certain markets in preview.

Two MedLM Models

Google offers two MedLM models – a larger one for complex tasks and a smaller, fine-tunable model suitable for scaling across different tasks.

Customization for Use Cases

Google emphasizes that the effectiveness of a MedLM model depends on the specific use case.

Pilots with Healthcare Organizations

HCA Healthcare, a for-profit facility operator, pilots MedLM models with physicians to draft patient notes.

Integration with BenchSci

BenchSci incorporates MedLM into its "evidence engine" for identifying, classifying, and ranking novel biomarkers.

Competition in Healthcare AI Market

Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are in a competitive race to dominate the healthcare AI market projected to be worth tens of billions of dollars by 2032.

Caution in Healthcare AI Adoption

Historical challenges and controversies in AI healthcare, with examples like Babylon Health and IBM, highlight the need for caution .

Google's Commitment to Responsible AI

Despite concerns raised by the World Health Organization, Google reaffirms its commitment to the safe and responsible use of generative AI in healthcare.
