Sen. Mark Warner, a senator from Virginia, sent a letter to Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google’s parent company. The letter expresses concerns about the deployment and training of Google’s Med-PaLM 2, an artificial intelligence chatbot, in healthcare settings. Warner is worried about potential inaccuracies in the technology and its impact on patient privacy. He posed a series of questions to Pichai about the transparency and privacy measures of Med-PaLM 2, its hurried implementation in healthcare settings like the Mayo Clinic, and the level of patient involvement in its use.
Warner has also inquired about the potential risks, disclosure, and documentation related to Med-PaLM 2. Additionally, he asked why Google has not shared details about the model’s training data. He requested information on the number of hospitals currently using Med-PaLM 2. Warner has previously written to other technology CEOs, expressing similar concerns about AI in healthcare. He believes that more efforts should be made to improve AI technology and establish appropriate standards for its use in healthcare.
