Two artificial intelligence chatbots, Google’s Gemini and Bard, have shown success in answering questions from the U.S. ophthalmology board certification exam, according to an April 13 study published in Eye.

Researchers evaluated the bots’ performance on EyeQuiz, a platform containing ophthalmology board certification examination practice questions. 

They examined the bots’ accuracy, response length, response time and provision of explanations as well as subspecialty-specific performance. 

Overall, Google Gemini and Bard both had accuracies of 71% across 150 text-based multiple-choice questions. 

Both bots had an acceptable performance on the exam questions, and chatbots also tended to provide a confident explanation even when providing an incorrect answer.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
