ChatGPT in complex adaptive healthcare systems: embrace with caution

This discussion paper explored the introduction of AI systems into healthcare. It covers A LOT of ground, so just a few extracts. Extracts: ·   “This article advocates an ‘embrace with caution’ stance, calling for reflexive governance, heightened ethical oversight, and a nuanced appreciation of systemic complexity to harness generative AI’s benefits while preserving the integrity of… Continue reading ChatGPT in complex adaptive healthcare systems: embrace with caution

An Empirical Study of the Anchoring Effect in LLMs: Existence, Mechanism, and Potential Mitigations

This study found that several LLMs are fairly easily influenced by anchoring effects, consistent with human anchoring bias. Extracts: ·        “Although LLMs surpass humans in standard benchmarks, their psychological traits remain understudied despite their growing importance” ·        “The anchoring effect is a ubiquitous cognitive bias (Furnham and Boo, 2011) and influences decisions in many fields” ·        “Under uncertainty,… Continue reading An Empirical Study of the Anchoring Effect in LLMs: Existence, Mechanism, and Potential Mitigations

LLMs Are Not Reliable Human Proxies to Study Affordances in Data Visualizations

This was pretty interesting – it compared GPT-4o to people in extracting takeaways from visualised data. They were also interested in how well the LLM could simulate human respondents/responses. Note that the researchers are primarily interested in whether the GPT-4o model acts as a suitable proxy for human responses – they recognise there are other… Continue reading LLMs Are Not Reliable Human Proxies to Study Affordances in Data Visualizations

ChatGPT for analysing investigations

I think this is one of the better uses of LLMs regarding investigations – they trained their model to evaluate accident reports and extract key details from the reports. They found: ·        It could extract key information from unstructured data and “significantly reduce the manual effort involved in accident investigation report analysis and enhance the overall… Continue reading ChatGPT for analysing investigations

Harnessing the power of ChatGPT to promote Construction Hazard Prevention through Design (CHPtD)

This study compared whether ChatGPT can assist in hazard recognition during Construction Hazard Prevention Through Design (CHPtD) sessions (e.g. safety in design). Via randomised controlled experimental design, 162 civil and construction engineering students were tasked with hazard recognition activities with or without ChatGPT assistance. Providing background: Results: Ref: Uddin, S. J., Albert, A., & Tamanna,… Continue reading Harnessing the power of ChatGPT to promote Construction Hazard Prevention through Design (CHPtD)
