GPT-4 Will Hunt For Trends In Medical Records Thanks To Microsoft and Epic
In Monday’s announcement, Microsoft mentions two specific ways Epic will use its Azure OpenAI Service, which provides API access to OpenAI’s large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-3 and GPT-4. In layperson’s terms, it means that companies can hire Microsoft to provide generative AI services for them using Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform. The first use of GPT-4 comes in the form of allowing doctors and health care workers to automatically draft message responses to patients. The press release quotes Chero Goswami, chief information officer at UW Health in Wisconsin, as saying, “Integrating generative AI into some of our daily workflows will increase productivity for many of our providers, allowing them to focus on the clinical duties that truly require their attention.” The second use will bring natural language queries and “data analysis” to SlicerDicer, which is Epic’s data-exploration tool that allows searches across large numbers of patients to identify trends that could be useful for making new discoveries or for financial reasons. According to Microsoft, that will help “clinical leaders explore data in a conversational and intuitive way.” Imagine talking to a chatbot similar to ChatGPT and asking it questions about trends in patient medical records, and you might get the picture. Dr. Margaret Mitchell, chief ethics scientist at Hugging Face, is concerned about GPT-4’s ability to make up information that isn’t represented in its data set. Another concern is the potential bias in GPT-4 that might discriminate against certain patients based on gender, race, age, or other factors.
“Combined with the well-known problem of automation bias, where even experts will believe things that are incorrect if they’re generated automatically by a system, this work will foreseeably generate false information,” says Mitchell. “In the clinical setting, this can mean the difference between life and death.”

News of his hospitalization broke earlier on Wednesday when his daughter took to social media to tell fans that he was “on his way to recovery.”
Corinne Foxx, 29, wrote: “We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.
“We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.
“Much love, The Foxx Family.”
Jamie, 55, is “communicating now,” which was good news to the family, TMZ reported.
The issue was so severe that Jamie’s family, some from out of town, raced to the hospital, according to the outlet.
No further details on the star’s condition have been revealed so far, and it is currently unclear what complication Jamie is suffering from.
PRAYERS FOR JAMIE
There has been a swift and overwhelming amount of support for Jamie, who is well-known for his comedy work and on productions like the Amazing Spider-Man movies, Disney’s Soul, Beat Shazam, and several other projects.
One fan wrote on Twitter: “Fam can they please not scare me about Jamie Foxx like that my heart d**n near sank. I’m glad he’s okay tho!”
Another fan said: “Just had a heart attack opening Instagram seeing Jamie Foxx almost died we can’t lose him too wtf.”
“Them doctors better Fix Jamie Foxx tf! Medical emergency!? Don’t play with me,” added a third.
“Jamie Foxx’s daughter scared the c**p out of me but I’m sending prayers and speedy recovery toward Jamie,” said a fourth.
“I saw that Jamie Foxx post and almost fell to my knees in this kitchen,” said another.
A final fan said: “Love and prayers go out to Jamie Foxx and his family. Stay strong and fighting, fellow Sagittarius!!”
CHAOS ON SET
Jamie is co-starring in a new Hollywood blockbuster alongside Cameron Diaz, but the production was recently plunged into further chaos after an unexploded World War II bomb was found on set, The U.S. Sun revealed.
The production crew was planning to film two huge stunts, including a major explosion, but they had to be canceled after the bomb was discovered.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars of the movie’s budget were wasted after filming was canceled at East London’s Royal Docks.
A source said: “The production expected the scene to go off with a bang — but nobody could have predicted it would all be derailed by a bomb.
“The stunt was booked to take place last month at the dock. A 24-meter barrier was being erected into the river, where the explosion would take place.
“But it was during the building of the set that they believed they found what they thought to be an unexploded bomb in the water.
“Safety was the main priority, so after speaking with the police and relevant authorities, the whole thing was canceled.
“Naturally, that part of the river is never normally disturbed, so it’s been left as it is.”
It’s believed that there are around 100,000 tons of unexploded ordnance in waters around the UK from both World Wars.
London was the main target for Nazi bombers during the Blitz.
The U.S. Sun’s movie insider added: “The cancellation was a massive blow to the film, which has already experienced a few issues.
“After the two stunts were canned, they were filmed on a green screen at Longcross Studios in Surrey.
“It cost a huge amount of money and was a massive headache for everyone involved.”
