GPT-4 gained similar scores to trainee and expert eye doctors - although the top performing doctors scored higher. "We could realistically deploy AI in triaging patients with eye issues to decide which cases are emergencies that need to be seen by a specialist immediately, which can be seen by a GP, and which don't need treatment," said Dr Arun Thirunavukarasu, lead author of the study, which he carried out while a student at the University of Cambridge's School of Clinical Medicine

Large volumes of clinical text are needed to help fine-tune and develop these models, and work is ongoing around the world to facilitate this. He added: "We also need to characterise the capabilities and limitations of commercially available models, as patients may already be using them - rather than the internet - for advice."
