How the ‘ChatGPT of healthcare’ could accelerate rheumatoid arthritis treatment [Video]

Following the success of OpenAI’s GPT series of large language models, an increasing number of institutions are proposing “foundation” models for artificial intelligence that, like GPT, are “pre-trained” to have very broad capabilities in a domain of knowledge. We saw this last week with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang proposing a “world foundation model” for autonomous vehicles and robots.

On Tuesday, at the annual JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, AI computer startup Cerebras Systems and medical research powerhouse Mayo Clinic presented findings of what they’re calling a foundation model for genomics that can tease out the genetic root of inherited conditions. The goal is to “build the ChatGPT of healthcare,” according to Cerebras and Mayo Clinic.

The first breakthrough of the year-long collaboration is the potential capability to predict drug response from patients with rheumatoid arthritis. That potential breakthrough could, the companies said, “significantly accelerate …
