Micky Tripathi, Ph.D., national coordinator for health information technology at the Department of Health and Human Services (speaking on stage) “It’s kind of remarkable how ChatGPT was made public, what, a month and a half ago, and I feel like last night just at dinner, I heard 10 ideas on the use of ChatGPT that people are either doing or contemplating doing in healthcare that I hadn’t even thought of. “I think all of us hopefully feel tremendous excitement and you ought to feel tremendous fear also. As we know, inappropriately used, there are equity issues, there are safety issues, there are quality issues, there’s all sorts of issues without appropriate transparency and appropriate governance over how these are used at a local level. I’m not talking about big picture governance but more at the local level so that the users have a better understanding of what this algorithm is doing and how do we have a governance process in any one of these settings for what algorithms we use and make available.”
