CHICAGO \u2014 In front of a room of radiologists, Warren Gefter pulled up a chest X-ray on a large screen. It looked like a standard, uncomplicated read. Heart: normal. Lungs: clear.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Gefter, a professor of radiology at Penn Medicine, wasn\u2019t looking to his peers to interpret the scan. Instead, he highlighted what a generative artificial intelligence model<\/a> had put in its written findings, along with those normal results: \u201cLeft hip prosthesis in situ.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
