Researchers at Harvard Medical School have developed a versatile AI model, similar to ChatGPT, that can perform a wide range of diagnostic tasks across various types of cancer.
The new model, CHIEF (Clinical Histopathology Imaging Evaluation Foundation), was trained on 15 million image sections and 60,000 whole-slide tissue images from various organs for more comprehensive analysis.
The researchers noted that the new AI system surpasses current methods by handling a wider range of tasks and being tested on 19 cancer types, offering flexibility similar to large language models like ChatGPT. The research team noted that the findings support growing evidence that AI can help clinicians evaluate cancers more efficiently and identify patients who may not respond to standard therapies.
“Our ambition was to create a nimble, versatile ChatGPT-like AI platform that can perform a broad range of cancer evaluation tasks,” said Kun-Hsing Yu, senior author of the study and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School.
