Can AI pass the usmle medical licensing exam ?

What do you think?

GPT-4 scored above passing on all three steps of the United States Medical Licensing Exam. Med-schools now teach 'how to use AI' as a clinical skill.


AI systems have made significant progress in processing and generating human-like language, but passing the USMLE medical licensing exam is a complex task that requires a deep understanding of medical concepts, clinical knowledge, and critical thinking skills. Currently, AI models can assist with certain aspects of medical education, such as providing study materials, practicing questions, and offering feedback, but they are not yet capable of replacing human judgment and expertise in a high-stakes exam like the USMLE. While AI can process vast amounts of medical information, its ability to apply this knowledge in a practical, real-world setting, such as a licensing exam, is still limited. The development of AI systems that can pass the USMLE exam would require significant advancements in areas like natural language understanding, common sense, and decision-making under uncertainty.
