Artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making-a tool or communication partner?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a tool that is only as good as its user. In the case of humanoid robots, an AI system can be seen as a social counterpart. Decision intelligence (DI) is a term that stems from engineering. DI as a science is used to process data with findings from the social sciences and decision theories. The aim is to improve decision-making processes. However, AI should be categorized as a tool and not as a communication partner. AI analyzes information from studies, guidelines, and textbooks from the outset-taking individual patient information into account. Physicians with a high level of clinical expertise can ask more specific questions about the latter. ChatGPT is trained with millions of texts from the internet, social media, online forums, journal articles, and books; it covers almost all areas of life.
