Med-PaLM 2: Google's Medical AI Chatbot for Healthcare
Google believes that Med-PaLM 2 will be particularly beneficial in areas where access to doctors is limited. Unlike general chatbots, Med-PaLM 2 will be specifically trained on a curated set of medical knowledge, giving it a specialized understanding of health-related conversations. Google has emphasized that customers testing this AI tool will have control over their data, which will be fully encrypted, ensuring that Google cannot access it.
Significantly, Google has recently updated its privacy policy. The updated policy states that the company may use publicly available data to enhance the capabilities of its AI tools. In other words, Google will utilize existing data to improve the AI tool's performance. Additionally, the company changed the wording of its privacy policy, referring to its technology as a "language model" rather than an "AI model".
