At that time, Pichai highlighted that the AI model will be available in Workspace apps, Med-PaLM for medical uses and Sec-PaLM for security. A report has now said that Google has been testing an AI chatbot for expertly answering medical questions.
The report noted that Google believes the LLM will be useful in places where there is “limited access to doctors”. Google’s senior research director Greg Corrado said that Med-PaLM 2 is still in its early stages.
According to Google, Med-PaLM 2 will be better at healthcare conversations than general chat bots such as Bard, Bing and ChatGPT. Med-PaLM is trained on a curated set of medical expert demonstrations.
The report also mentioned that the customers who will be testing Med-PaLM 2 will control their data. The data will also be encrypted and Google won’t have access to it.
