How will AI change health care in 2025?

To answer this question, I of course asked different AIs what the answer would be. Their responses:

ChatGPT. In 2025, AI will significantly enhance healthcare by improving diagnostic accuracy, such as detecting early-stage cancers through tools like AI-enhanced mammograms and identifying retinal diseases via AI-analyzed optical scans. Personalized medicine will advance as AI tools like DeepMind’s AlphaFold help develop treatments tailored to individual genetic profiles, particularly for rare diseases. Virtual assistants like Amazon Clinic or Microsoft’s AI-driven Copilot will streamline administrative tasks, such as automating pre-authorization processes and managing patient scheduling. However, AI will not fully replace human decision-making in complex cases like ethical dilemmas around end-of-life care or multifactorial diagnoses, nor will it resolve systemic issues such as the digital divide, which limits access to these technologies in underserved regions. Meta: AI is poised to revolutionize healthcare in 2025, particularly in administrative and clinical areas. Advancements in AI will improve diagnostic accuracy, such as AI-assisted detection of breast cancer from mammography images, and automate repetitive tasks like clinical registry abstraction, freeing up staff to focus on higher-value tasks. Additionally, AI-powered chatbots will enhance patient engagement and personalized medicine, enabling patients to better manage chronic conditions like diabetes through tailored treatment plans and real-time monitoring. However, AI is unlikely to replace human interaction in healthcare, instead serving as a hybridized tool to augment clinical decision-making and streamline processes. Gemini: In 2025, we can expect to see AI significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy through tools like AI-powered image analysis for faster and more accurate identification of anomalies in medical scans (e.g., X-rays, MRIs). However, the widespread adoption of AI-powered robotic surgeons, while promising, may be limited by regulatory hurdles and concerns about the potential for unforeseen complications and the need for highly skilled human oversight. Perplexity: In 2025, AI-powered diagnostic tools will become standard in over 70% of U.S. hospitals, with systems like Google’s DeepMind accurately detecting breast cancer 5% earlier than human radiologists. AI chatbots, such as an advanced version of Babylon Health’s symptom checker, will handle 30% of primary care triage, reducing wait times by an average of 20 minutes per patient. However, AI will not yet be trusted for complex surgical planning or end-of-life care decisions, as evidenced by the FDA’s continued reluctance to approve fully autonomous surgical robots for procedures beyond routine laparoscopies.

I personally appreciated the specificity of the ChatGPT and Perplexity answers, but let me know which answer(s) you liked best.

APPENDIX

The specific prompt I gave to each of the LLMs was: “How will AI change health care in 2025? Write 2-3 sentences with SPECIFIC predictions for how AI will and will not change healthcare next year (in 2025).” The results I got were a bit generic so for each I added an additional prompt: “This is good but can you provide some more specific examples incorporated into these predictions.“
