ChatGPT and GPT-4: The Emergence of AI Technology

ChatGPT’s emergence and GPT-4’s breakthrough in recent times have caught the attention of the industry and the public, and the underlying core technology, artificial intelligence (AI), has become a "hot topic" of the moment.

AI Technology: Penetrating into People’s Work and Lives

With the arrival of the era of big data, cloud computing, and 5G, AI technology is developing rapidly, presenting more possibilities for AI assistance to various industries while subverting people’s preconceptions. It is undeniable that AI has already gradually penetrated into people’s work and lives.

AI Medical: A Potential for Industrial Development

As an industry related to the public’s health, the medical industry has the potential to reach a new level of industrial development with the aid of AI technology. According to statistics, nearly 100 billion dollars have been injected into the AI and medical industries over the past five years. Medical imaging AI, AI drugmaking, and medical AI robots have all made rapid breakthroughs and strides forward. AI medical is gradually becoming one of the most focused themes of the biomedicine track.

AI Technology: An Important Driving Force for Improving Medical Services

As the integration of AI technology and the medical and health fields continues to deepen, Artificial Intelligence technologies represented by computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning are becoming more and more widely infiltrated into various scenarios of the medical industry and have become an important driving force for improving the level of medical services. It is foreseeable that with the dual impetus of policy support and technological innovation, AI medical is entering a fast lane, and the market is poised to take off, changing people’s healthy lives with the help of AI.

AI and Medical Resource Allocation: Policy Support and Technological Innovation

Policy is moving in the right direction, and AI is helping to optimise medical resource allocation. In the past decade, the ageing process of China’s population has been speeding up. Combined with its large population base, medical resources are unevenly distributed, and there is a shortage of medical resources. Many serious and chronic diseases cannot be found at an early stage due to a lack of obvious symptoms and complex detection processes.

AI can effectively solve the problems of doctor shortages and medical resource mismatches. It is generally believed by the industry that the popularisation and application of AI can optimise the allocation of medical resources, promote the modernization of medical and health capacity, promote graded diagnosis and treatment, and promote system integration.

The past three years of the pandemic have made people place more emphasis on health care, further increasing the demand for medical services. Scientific and technological innovation in the medical and health fields has become more important and urgent. The application of artificial intelligence in the medical field has also become one of the most important national strategies.

Policy Support for AI Medical: Promoting Innovation and Development in the Industry

In recent years, various departments of the State Council, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the State Drug Administration have successively issued a series of policy documents to actively promote the innovation and development of the medical AI industry. For example, it promotes the research and development of AI imaging, AI diagnosis, and surgical robots; it encourages AI to be widely used in public health emergencies, tumours, and other diseases; and it is the first to establish an AI standard system in medical and other fields in 2023.
