Parents who use an AI tool to flag potential developmental delays in their children may be surprised to learn their pediatricians aren't as concerned.
Researchers at Cohen Children's Medical Center used ChatGPT, a public artificial intelligence tool, to flag 108 potential developmental delays in children between the ages of 1 and 5, according to a press release.
ChatGPT scored higher than physicians in only 5% of cases, but pediatricians scored about 30% more often, according to the study presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting in Toronto on Saturday.
" artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT can provide accurate information for parents regarding their child's development, but still do not perform like physicians in certain tasks," says Joseph Barile, the study's lead author.
Researchers found that ChatGPT labeled potential developmental delays as "abnormal" in 36% of cases, while pediatricians labeled them as "normal" in 41% of cases.
"This study reveals how pediatricians may have more conviction than ChatGPT when it comes to denoting certain developmental delays as 'abnormal,'" Barile says.
He adds that pediatricians were most inconsistent with social, emotional, and behavioral concerns, and that children older than one were most inconsistent with social, emotional, and behavioral
