Vetnuus | October 2024 7 >>> 8 Leading Article TABLE 1 Key takeaways of the review. in PubMed yielded 14 results until May 2024. After examining the title and abstract of all articles, 5 articles were deemed relevant to the subject and were included in the review (26–30). In addition, online search using the same combination of keywords identified commercial software that integrated ChatGPT to enhance virtual assistance, diagnostic accuracy, communication with pet owners, and optimization of workflows (31–37). While examples of ChatGPT applications are prevalent on social media and in various publications (38–40), the best way to understand its impact is through direct engagement. This article aims to discuss the applications of ChatGPT in veterinary medicine, provide practical implementations, and examine its limitations and ethical considerations. The following content will use’ ChatGPT’ as a general term. When the information on specific versions of ChatGPT is available, terms such as GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 will be used. Highlights of each section are listed in Table 1 for a quick summary of the review. Introduction • Of 3,968 veterinary professionals who participated in a survey, 83.8% of respondents were familiar with AI and its applications in veterinary medicine, with 69.5% using AI tools daily or weekly. • Machine learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables systems to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. • Generative AI, in turn, is a field within ML specializing in creating new content. • Large language models (LLMs) have human-like text generation capabilities. Examples include ChatGPT (OpenAI), Llama 3 (Meta), Gemini (Google), Gemma (Google), and Claude 3 (Anthropic). • GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer, indicating its characteristics of content generation, pre-trained by text and codes, and the use of transformer neural network. • Important milestones of ChatGPT’s public release: • November 30, 2022 – ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) o February 1, 2023 - ChatGPT Plus (GPT-3.5) o March 1, 2023 – ChatGPT (upgrade to GPT-3.5 Turbo) o March 14, 2023 – ChatGPT Plus (upgrade to GPT-4) o May 13, 2024 – GPT-4o ChatGPT 101: prompts and prompt engineering • Prompts act as conversation starters, consisting of instructions or queries that elicit responses from the AI. • Prompt engineering is the practice of refining inputs to produce optimal outputs. Common strategies include providing relevant context, detailing the data structure, and specifying desired outcomes. • Cognitive strategy prompts can direct ChatGPT’s reasoning more effectively. See Supplementary material. Using ChatGPT in clinical care • In human medicine, ChatGPT can make triage decisions, mine text from clinical history, create SOAP notes, diagnose complex cases, and interpret image inputs such as blood work and ECG. • A prior publication in veterinary medicine demonstrated ChatGPT’s ability in text-mining. • Examples of applying ChatGPT in writing SOAP notes and interpreting ECG and blood work images are available in Supplementary material. Using ChatGPT in Veterinary Education • ChatGPT has the potential to assist medical exam takers, while the performance in standardized exams may vary among different LLMs. • GPTs are customized ChatGPTs that can serve as AI tutors for clients and veterinary students. o CatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-NDDXC050T-catgpt o VetClinPathGPT: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-rfB5cBZ6X-vetclinpathgpt
