Large language models are a type of AI that allows users to generate new content, drawing from a huge dataset to learn how to mimic “natural language” with many possible beneficial applications for this technology in medicine.
I looked at the joints. They spoke back to me—”I need more humanism,” they whispered. To longtime readers, those two sentences may sound both familiar and alien, perhaps even a little humorous. That’s because those sentences were generated entirely by a computer using artificial intelligence (AI). It was simple, too: I just copied the text…

Machine learning is a tool that may help pediatric rheumatologists distinguish between different subtypes of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and predict treatment response.
As the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 spreads across the globe, innovative thinking is needed more than ever to counter the devastating effects on the physical and socioeconomic health of individuals and communities. Innovations in healthcare delivery not yet fully realized prior to the pandemic, such as the adoption of telehealth, are moving to the…
Advancements in technology and artificial intelligence designed to aid rheumatologists in diagnosing patients and predicting mortality risk were discussed in depth during a session of the European e-Congress of Rheumatology.
From digital scribes to predictive pharmacology—as artificial intelligence advances, technology has a lot to offer medicine. What opportunities lie ahead for rheumatologists and their patients?
“To err is human.” —Alexander Pope (1688–1744) The Wisest Minds in Medicine At some point during our careers, we have the privilege of meeting a physician so talented that everyone else pales in comparison. These are those gifted clinicians whose astonishing mastery of medicine makes everyone in their midst feel like inept, babbling fools. They…
