Informing a Position Statement on the Use of Large Language Models and AI Scribes in Dermatology in Australia

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of computers to mimic human intelligence. In response to the growing interest and impact of AI, the Australasian College of Dermatologists released its first Position Statement on AI in dermatology in 2022. This Position Statement provided guidance for dermatologists on the appropriate use of AI. Since then, the AI landscape has evolved substantially, particularly with the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs). This article explores key developments in AI driven by LLMs, including the increasing use of AI scribes, and provides updated guidance for dermatologists in Australia.
