How i The Pitt /i 's AI Drama is Playing Out in Real Hospitals

TIME - Tech

How The Pitt's AI Drama is Playing Out in Real Hospitals In Thursday's episode of The Pitt, the long-simmering tensions over the use of AI at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center boiled over. In season two of the five-time Emmy winning medical drama, a new attending physician, Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi), is determined to improve efficiencies at the hospital. She tells her skeptical staff that new AI systems can cut down their time spent on charting by 80%, allowing them to spend more time both at the bedside and at home. But in episode six, doctors discover that the AI tool has made up false details about a patient and confused "urology" for "neurology." "AI's two percent error rate is still better than dictation," Al-Hashimi says, adding that it needs to be proofread for errors.

Using Artificial Intelligence Is Easier Than You Think

WIRED

Ever since I watched the Disney Channel original movie Smart House as a kid, I've been fascinated by futuristic visions of technology in our daily lives. While writing about artificial intelligence tools and providing advice for using them at WIRED over the past two years, it's become so clear to me that the software is nothing like it's depicted in these sci-fi movies or what the hype-focused marketing materials from AI companies would have you believe. Even with this in mind, I do still consider the current crop of generative AI tools to be sometimes useful, sometimes entertaining, and almost always a little frustrating. And that belief was my driving motivation to write a second season of our AI Unlocked newsletter. It has been a passion project of mine over the past few months to work on this--chatting with experts in the field, trying out different tools, and soliciting reader responses to last year's newsletter.

The Open Ko-LLM Leaderboard has been instrumental in benchmarking Korean Large Language Models (LLMs), yet it has certain limitations. Notably, the disconnect between quantitative improvements on the overly academic leaderboard benchmarks and the qualitative impact of the models should be addressed. Furthermore, the benchmark suite is largely composed of translated versions of their English counterparts, which may not fully capture the intricacies of the Korean language. To address these issues, we propose Open Ko-LLM Leaderboard2, an improved version of the earlier Open Ko-LLM Leaderboard. The original benchmarks are entirely replaced with new tasks that are more closely aligned with real-world capabilities. Additionally, four new native Korean benchmarks are introduced to better reflect the distinct characteristics of the Korean language. Through these refinements, Open Ko-LLM Leaderboard2 seeks to provide a more meaningful evaluation for advancing Korean LLMs.
