Are we fact-checking medical claims the right way? 🩺🤔 Probably not. In our study, even experts struggled to verify Reddit health claims using end-to-end systems. We show why—and argue fact-checking should be a dialogue, with patients in the loop arxiv.org/abs/2506.20876 🧵1/

Do chatbots hinder #criticalThinking? Contrary to fallacious causal conclusions drawn from correlational studies, this experiment found a scripted chatbot increased correct #factChecking solutions compared to unassisted students (N = 156). doi.org/10.1016/j.ch...#criticalThinking?#factChecking#edu #tech

Excited to pilot our human performance augmentation approach with #AR/VR in #brachytherapy. Placing critical info in the physician's field of view eliminates workflow disruptions + is more ergonomic. Grateful for the opportunity to build this solution @mdanderson.bsky.social!

Happy to share one of my side projects: TRAC - Trial Reasoning and Analysis Companion. A web app I developed for augmenting trial understanding and variable visualization with GPT-4o under the hood. #AITools

Great summary of our latest work realized by @hyesunyun.bsky.social👇🏼We find that LLMs are susceptible to spin in medical abstracts and can propagate into plain summaries. However prompting techniques such as CoT can help mitigate that. @jessyjli.bsky.social @byron.bsky.social

A new completely open reasoning model out of China, Deepseek-R1, is now available. The benchmarks show it at parity with the likes of o1 and Sonnet In some informal tests on non-code problems, it is really good, not o1-pro level but surprisingly capable (and incredibly small & fast!). Big advance.

We suck at predicting the future of AI — and that's perfectly fine. Maybe the real question isn't 'What will happen?' but 'So what? My new post on substack goes into this more deeply as I personally struggle with how to make sense of all of this. greypascal.substack.com/p/beyond-pre...

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 I wrote something that's been on my mind for a while about how we approach uncertainty in healthcare—and how AI might help bridge this gap. Check it out here: open.substack.com/pub/greypasc...

Cervical cancer mortality in US women younger than 25 years significantly declined between 2016 and 2021, likely due to the widespread adoption of HPV vaccination. ja.ma/4i9ghPC
