Artificial intelligence (AI) has witnessed significant advancements, reshaping various industries, including healthcare. The introduction of ChatGPT by OpenAI in November 2022 marked a pivotal moment, showcasing the potential of generative AI in revolutionising patient care, diagnosis and treatment. Generative AI, unlike traditional AI systems, possesses the ability to generate new content by understanding patterns within datasets. This article explores the evolution of AI in healthcare, tracing its roots to the term coined by John McCarthy in 1955 and the contributions of pioneers like John Von Neumann and Alan Turing. Currently, generative AI, particularly Large Language Models, holds promise across three broad categories in healthcare: patient care, education and research. In patient care, it offers solutions in clinical document management, diagnostic support and operative planning. Notable advancements include Microsoft’s collaboration with Epic for integrating AI into electronic medical records (EMRs), enhancing clinical data management and patient care. Furthermore, generative AI aids in surgical decision-making, as demonstrated in plastic, orthopaedic and hepatobiliary surgeries. However, challenges such as bias, hallucination and integration with EMR systems necessitate caution and ongoing evaluation. The article also presents insights from the implementation of NUHS Russell-GPT, a generative AI chatbot, in a hand surgery department, showcasing its utility in administrative tasks but highlighting challenges in surgical planning and EMR integration. The survey showed unanimous support for incorporating AI into clinical settings, with all respondents being open to its use. In conclusion, generative AI is poised to enhance patient care and ease physician workloads, starting with automating administrative tasks and evolving to inform diagnoses, tailored treatment plans, as well as aid in surgical planning. As healthcare systems navigate the complexities of integrating AI, the potential benefits for both physicians and patients remain significant, offering a glimpse into a future where AI transforms healthcare delivery.
