Google AI Grows a Basilar Ganglia – Bredemarket

Final month I mentioned Google’s advances in well being and synthetic intelligence, particularly the power to MedGemma and MedSigLIP to research medical pictures. However writing about well being is extra problematic. Both that, or Google AI is rising physique elements such because the “basilar ganglia.”
Futurism contains the small print of a Google analysis paper that “invented” this “basilar ganglia” physique half.
“Of their Could 2024 analysis paper introducing a healthcare AI mannequin, dubbed Med-Gemini, Google researchers confirmed off the AI analyzing mind scans from the radiology lab for numerous circumstances.
“It recognized an “previous left basilar ganglia infarct,” referring to a purported a part of the mind — “basilar ganglia” — that merely doesn’t exist within the human physique. Board-certified neurologist Bryan Moore flagged the problem to The Verge, highlighting that Google mounted its weblog submit in regards to the AI — however didn’t revise the analysis paper itself.”
A bit of scary…particularly the truth that it took a yr to find the error, a conflation of the basal ganglia (within the mind) and the basilar artery (on the brainstem). There’s no “basilar ganglia” per se.
And the MedGemma engine that I mentioned final month has its personal issues.
“Google’s extra superior healthcare mannequin, dubbed MedGemma, additionally led to various solutions relying on the way in which questions have been phrased, resulting in errors among the time.”
One may argue that the identical factor may occur with people. In spite of everything, if a affected person phrases an issue in a single solution to one physician, and otherwise to a special physician, you could possibly even have divergent diagnoses.
However this reminds us that we have to fact-check EVERYTHING we learn.
