Parallel Doctors and Parallel Hospitals: Impact and Perspective of ChatGPT-like AIGC and AGI on Medicine and Medicare

WANG Feiyue Abstract: Issues related to the impact of ChatGPT-like artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC) and artificial general intelligence (AGI) technologies on medicine and medicare have been presented and discussed. We believe that advances in medical foundation models, scenarios engineering, and medical operations with operating systems would lead to parallel doctors in parallel hospitals, i.e., digital, robotic, and human doctors working in parallel within cyber-physical-social spaces under three modes: autonomous, parallel, and expert/emergency operations. Under decentralized/distributed autonomous organizations/operations (DAO) and DeSci, as well as DeMed and DeHospitals, the vision for individual patients with her/his personalized digital hospital could be a reality in the future.
