Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare, with large language models emerging as important tools for clinical practice, education, and research. To use it safely and effectively, healthcare professionals need to understand how it works, and how it fails. Using practical clinical examples, the authors explain the subset of AI called large language models, highlighting their capabilities and their limitations.
