AI in healthcare

GEN AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made transformative impacts across various sectors, with tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini enabling the generation of human-like text and images. These advancements have enhanced industries such as customer service and content creation. However, AI models face a growing concern known as model collapse as outlined in the following Forbes article. AI model collapse refers to the gradual degradation of model performance, resulting in increasingly unreliable outputs. To combat this, novel approaches such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) have been introduced using human moderated content platforms such as WikiMD, enhancing AI's ability to generate more accurate and relevant responses by integrating information retrieval techniques.
