ChatGPT could score at or around the approximately 60 per cent passing threshold for the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE), with responses that made coherent, internal sense and contained frequent insights, according to a new study. Tiffany Kung and colleagues at AnsibleHealth, California, US, tested ChatGPT's performance on the USMLE, a highly standardized and regulated series of three exams, including Steps 1, 2CK, and 3, required for medical licensure in the US, the study said. Taken by medical students and physicians-in-training, the USMLE assesses knowledge spanning most medical disciplines, ranging from biochemistry, to diagnostic reasoning, to bioethics. After screening to remove image-based questions from the USMLE, the authors tested the software on 350 of the 376 public questions available from the June 2022 USMLE release, the study said. The authors found that after indeterminate responses were removed, ChatGPT had scored between 52.4 per cent and 75 per cent

Dr. Anthony Fauci is criticising a declaration by a group of scientists that supports the concept of herd immunity, which the White House is using to bolster a push to reopen schools and businesses. Fauci says backing herd immunity the idea that a disease will stop spreading once nearly everybody has contracted it is total nonsense. The top U.S. infectious disease expert says: If you talk to anybody who has any experience in epidemiology and infectious diseases, they will tell you that that is risky and you'll wind up with many more infections of vulnerable people, which will lead to hospitalisations and death, he told ABC's Good Morning America on Thursday. So I think that we've just got to look that square in the eye and say it's nonsense. The U.S. leads the world with 7.9 million coronavirus cases and nearly 217,000 confirmed deaths. Globally, there have been 38 million reported cases and 1.09 million confirmed deaths.
