ChatGPT and rivals put to the test: can AI match doctors in pre-surgery risk scoring?
NCT ID NCT07696221
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether four popular AI chatbots — ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Gemini, and Claude — can correctly classify surgical risk using anonymous patient vignettes. Researchers compare the AI's risk scores to those given by a panel of senior anesthesiologists. If successful, AI could help standardize preoperative assessments and reduce human variability.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Large language models (ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Gemini, Claude)
- What this could lead to
- If these AI models prove reliable, they could help standardize preoperative risk assessment and reduce variability among clinicians.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, retrospective study using anonymized vignettes, not real-time patient care. AI may not perform as well in complex or emergency cases.
