Elon Musk is interested in how AI can help with health care. He wants users to upload their medical test results, like CT scans or x-rays, to his platform. Grok is an AI chatbot that will learn how to understand these tests.
Musk posted on X, saying, “Try giving Grok x-ray or MRI images. This is early work, but it is already quite good. Tell us if Grok gets it right or needs help.”
Grok has some success. It correctly analyzed blood test results and found breast cancer for some users. However, it also made mistakes. For example, it confused a case of tuberculosis with a back problem. In another case, it thought a mammogram of a cyst was an image of testicles.
Experts are worried about Grok. They say it is not safe to use personal medical data from social media. This data is not protected, so it could be shared without permission. People must think carefully before sharing their health information.
Overall, while AI can help the medical field, it is important to use it wisely and safely.
