Summary

This pilot study tests whether generative AI, like ChatGPT, can help doctors in intensive care make better clinical decisions. Physicians in a medical ICU are randomly assigned to use AI alongside usual resources or usual resources alone, then switch. The study measures satisfaction, usability, and decision-making quality through questionnaires. All final decisions remain with the doctors.
