M42, a global tech-enabled healthcare network, has launched Med42, a new open-access Clinical Large Language Model (LLM) that aims to take the concept of ethical artificial intelligence in healthcare to a new level.
Unveiled in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, the 70-billion parameter, generative AI model is set to revolutionise the healthcare sector and directly influence the outcomes of patient care.
MED42 acts as an AI assistant for healthcare professionals, simplifying complex medical queries and helping develop personalised treatment plans based on a patient's medical history. It speeds up the decision-making process for doctors, supports pharmacists in dosage decisions, and aids scientists in reviewing medical literature efficiently. It has achieved an impressive 72 per cent score on the United States Medical Licensing Examination Sample Exam questions, outperforming larger closed models.
Developed by a dedicated team in Abu Dhabi, MED42 underwent training and fine-tuning, with experts from Cerebras and Core42. Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence ensured the accuracy of the model.
“It's one of the only open-sourced AI language models to pass the USMLE, which puts us ahead of much larger closed models,” said Dr Shaddab Khan, director of AI and Applied Sciences at G42, the parent company of M42.
