In November 2022, OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT kick-started a new era in AI. This was followed less than a half year later by the release of GPT-4. In the months leading up to GPT-4’s public release, Peter Lee<\/a>, president of Microsoft Research, cowrote The AI Revolution in Medicine: GPT-4 and Beyond<\/a><\/em>, a book full of optimism for the potential of advanced AI models to transform the world of healthcare. What has happened since? In this special Microsoft Research Podcast<\/a> series, Lee revisits the book, exploring how patients, providers, and other medical professionals are experiencing and using generative AI today while examining what he and his coauthors got right\u2014and what they didn\u2019t foresee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Lee talks about his early encounters with GPT-4, when the AI model was still in secret development with OpenAI, and the range of emotions he cycled through as he came to understand the new technology better. The emergence of generative AI has created a \u201cnew world,\u201d Lee says, one he is eager to investigate with the aim of discovering the technology\u2019s impact so far and what it means for the future of healthcare and medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
