DO NO LLM HARM By Mark Anderson _________ Why Read: We have warned our members for years about the dangers of using large language models (LLMs) in life-or-death applications; but this has not prevented many companies from trying to move into medical practice, for example - perhaps an object case for how "LLM-pilled" they are. Now, we are suggesting an immediate, global movement to prevent LLM use in the direct diagnostics or treatment of medical patients. This may be the shortest, and most important, Global Report I have ever written. - mra _________ The Hippocratic Oath is the oldest and most widely known treatise on medical ethics. It requires new physicians to swear by numerous healing gods and dictates the duties and responsibilities of the physician while treating patients. - doctors.practo.com With regard to healing the sick, I will devise and order for them the best diet, according to my judgment and means; and I will take care that they suffer no hurt or damage. - English translation from the classic Greek of the Hippocratic Oath; ibid. (See "Upgrades" for full text.) Primum non nocere is a Latin phrase that means "first, do no harm." - Attributed to 17th-century physician Thomas Sydenham; Wikipedia |
