Global EditionAI & ML IntelligenceElon Musk suggests Grok AI has a role in healthcareHe has boasted about the accuracy of subscription-based Grok artificial intelligence for analyzing medical images, but physicians and researchers say the model's ability to diagnose medical conditions is limited, and privacy experts have concerns.By Andrea FoxNovember 04, 202407:10 AMBillionaire tech mogul Elon Musk this past week took to his X social media platform to request that users of his Grok artificial intelligence chatbot upload their medical images and generate a diagnosis..

Global EditonaI＆ML IntelligenceElon Musk建议Grok AI在医疗保健中发挥作用。他曾吹嘘基于订阅的Grok人工智能用于分析医学图像的准确性，但医生和研究人员表示，该模型诊断医疗状况的能力有限，隐私专家对此表示担忧。Andrea Fox202407:10上周，AMBillionaire科技巨头埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）来到他的X社交媒体平台，要求其Grok人工智能聊天机器人的用户上传他们的医学图像并生成诊断。。

'Try submitting X-ray, PET, MRI or other medical images to Grok for analysis,' Musk suggested on October 29 the X platform, where subscribers access the AI.

马斯克在10月29日的X平台上建议，尝试将X射线、PET、MRI或其他医学图像提交给格罗克进行分析，订阅者可以在X平台上访问人工智能。

Uploading medical data through a social media platform raises questions about privacy.

通过社交媒体平台上传医疗数据引发了有关隐私的问题。

Some in healthcare have already tested the large language model – which is controversial for mining social media data as part of its training – and are providing mixed reviews on accuracy.

医疗保健部门的一些人已经测试了大型语言模型，作为其培训的一部分，该模型在挖掘社交媒体数据方面存在争议，并且对准确性提供了不同的评论。

Meanwhile, Grok had already beckoned European privacy regulators to question potential violations of the General Data Protection Regulation.

与此同时，格罗克已经呼吁欧洲隐私监管机构质疑可能违反《一般数据保护条例》的行为。

Mixed reviews on accuracy

对准确性的评论不一

'This is still early stage, but it is already quite accurate and will become extremely good,' Musk declared in a post on X.

马斯克在X上的一篇帖子中表示：“这仍处于早期阶段，但它已经相当准确，将变得非常好。”。

Dr. Derya Unutmaz, who researches the mechanisms of human T cells at The Jackson Laboratory, a non-profit scientific research institute in Connecticut, was one of many who tested Grok last week with an X-ray, noting that he had to adjust the prompt to get the right answer:

Derya Unutmaz博士在康涅狄格州的非营利科学研究机构杰克逊实验室（Jackson Laboratory）研究人类T细胞的机制，他是上周用X射线测试Grok的许多人之一，并指出他必须调整提示以获得正确答案：

'When I used this prompt, Grok got it right this time: 'You are an emergency physician, this patient arrived to emergency with shortness of breath. No obvious trauma. What’s your diagnosis?' for the following X-ray,' he said in reply to Musk.

“当我使用这个提示时，格罗克这次答对了：“你是一名急诊医生，这个病人呼吸急促。。你的诊断是什么？”“接下来的X光检查，”他回答马斯克说。

'Apparently it needed some context,' he added. 'The response is very thorough and impressive though!'

“显然，这需要一些背景，”他补充道不过，反应非常彻底，令人印象深刻！”

Dr. Laura Heacock, a breast radiologist, deep learning researcher and associate professor at NYU Imaging, was not as impressed, according to her reply.

据劳拉·希考克博士（LauraHeacock）的回复，她是一名乳房放射科医生、深度学习研究人员，也是纽约大学影像学的副教授，对此印象不深。

Heacock said she used the same breast mammograms, ultrasounds and MRIs that she previously used to test GPT4 as a benchmark, and in a series of 12 social media posts, detailed Grok's answers and her opinions of those answers.

希考克说，她使用了之前用于测试GPT4的乳房X光片、超声波和核磁共振成像作为基准，并在一系列12条社交媒体帖子中详细介绍了格罗克的答案以及她对这些答案的看法。

'So how did Grok do on breast radiology? A little better than GPT4v, but not a single diagnosis correct,' she said, noting that she had expected much better performance given Musk's statement on accuracy.

那么格罗克在乳腺放射学方面做得怎么样？她说，比GPT4v稍微好一点，但没有一个诊断正确。”她指出，考虑到马斯克关于准确性的声明，她预计性能会好得多。

Grok could identify an image as a mammogram or an ultrasound but replied to Heacock's short queries with incorrect body parts and erroneous possible findings. In a mammogram with known malignancy, Grok suggested that what Heacock called an 'obvious big left spiculated cancer' was possibly calcifications..

格罗克可以将图像识别为乳房X光检查或超声波检查，但在回答希科克的简短询问时，他回答了不正确的身体部位和可能的错误发现。在一张已知恶性肿瘤的乳腺X线照片中，格罗克认为希科克所谓的“明显的大左毛刺癌”可能是钙化。。

'There are none,' she said.

“没有，”她说。

Heacock said she would retry Grok in a few months, but, 'for now, non-generative AI methods continue to outperform in medical imaging.'

希科克表示，她将在几个月后重试Grok，但“目前，非生成性人工智能方法在医学成像方面的表现仍优于其他人工智能方法。”

Social data in model training

模型训练中的社会数据

xAI began laying the foundation for its 'anti-woke' Grok-1 AI model in November 2023.

xAI于2023年11月开始为其“反唤醒”Grok-1 AI模型奠定基础。

'Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don’t use it if you hate humor,' xAI said in its announcement last year.

夏在去年的公告中说：“Grok的设计初衷是用一点智慧来回答问题，并且有叛逆的倾向，所以如果你讨厌幽默，请不要使用它。”。

'A unique and fundamental advantage of Grok is that it has real-time knowledge of the world via the X platform. It will also answer spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems,' the company added.

“Grok的一个独特而基本的优势是它通过X平台实时了解世界。该公司补充说，它还将回答大多数其他人工智能系统拒绝的尖锐问题。

Musk announced on his social media platform that xAI would make the Grok algorithm, a direct competitor to ChatGPT, accessible as open-source software, on March 11, 2024.

马斯克在他的社交媒体平台上宣布，xAI将于2024年3月11日将Grok算法（ChatGPT的直接竞争对手）作为开源软件进行访问。

The company then said in May it had raised $6 billion after the release of Grok-1.5 model, which it said achieved improved reasoning and problem-solving capabilities, and the release of Grok-1.5V, which added the ability to process visual information – including documents, diagrams, charts, screenshots and photographs..

该公司随后于5月表示，在发布Grok-1.5模型（该模型实现了改进的推理和解决问题的能力）以及发布Grok-1.5V（该模型增加了处理视觉信息的能力，包括文档、图表、图表、屏幕截图和照片）后，该公司已筹集了60亿美元。。

Recognizing the potential to disrupt healthcare, Dr. Sai Balasubramanian, who was appointed Public Health Informatics Data & Exchange Unit Director at the Texas Department of State Health Services earlier this year, opined for Forbes that Grok could be embedded as a foundation model into daily healthcare workflows, such as in radiology practices..

今年早些时候被任命为德克萨斯州卫生服务部公共卫生信息数据与交换部门主任的Sai Balasubramanian博士认识到破坏医疗保健的潜力，他为福布斯（Forbes）认为，Grok可以作为一个基础模型嵌入日常医疗保健工作流程中，例如在放射学实践中。。

Like other AI models, Grok could be used to increase task automation improving clinical workflows and productivity, but would likely face competition in the enterprise space from industry veterans, Balasubramanian said.

Balasubramanian说，与其他人工智能模型一样，Grok可以用于提高任务自动化程度，改善临床工作流程和生产力，但在企业领域可能会面临行业老手的竞争。

However, the public health informatics director noted in the article that there is a significant opportunity for Musk to bring together xAI and his medical device company Neuralink.

然而，公共卫生信息学主任在文章中指出，马斯克有一个重要的机会将夏和他的医疗器械公司Neuralink联合起来。

In 2020, Musk's Neuralink was demoing its brain-computer implant in pigs. In September, the neurological tech startup announced it achieved the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's breakthrough device designation for its Blindsight implant, which aims to restore vision.

2020年，马斯克公司的Neuralink在猪身上演示其大脑计算机植入物。9月，这家神经科技初创公司宣布，其盲视植入物获得了美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）的突破性设备指定，该植入物旨在恢复视力。

The Tesla and SpaceX chief executive was once on a crusade to stop what he called 'the AI apocalypse' and traded words about its potentially destructive power with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

这位特斯拉和太空探索公司（SpaceX）首席执行官曾发起一场运动，以阻止他所谓的“人工智能启示录”（AI Apocalype），并与Facebook首席执行官马克·扎克伯格（MarkZuckerberg）就其潜在的破坏力交换了意见。

The latter criticized Musk's notions of AI's doom and was optimistic about AI's potential for enhanced diagnostic capabilities and innovation in drug discovery. Musk, who had previously said that AI held the potential to reduce humankind to 'a pet or a house cat' in a future controlled by it, fired back that Zuckerberg's 'understanding of the subject is limited.'.

后者批评马斯克对人工智能末日的看法，并对人工智能在增强诊断能力和药物发现创新方面的潜力持乐观态度。马斯克之前曾表示，人工智能有可能在其控制的未来将人类变成“宠物或家猫”，但他回击扎克伯格“对这个主题的理解是有限的”。

Edging up against privacy regs

逐渐违反隐私法规

Currently, X premium and premium+ users can access two new models, Grok-2, which integrates real-time information from the X social media platform, and Grok-2 mini.

目前，X premium和premium+用户可以访问两种新机型，即集成X社交媒体平台实时信息的Grok-2和Grok-2 mini。

With the Grok-2 beta release in August, users gained the ability to create images – many of them highly inappropriate due to a lack of filters, as researchers were able to show this summer – from text prompts and publish them to the social platform. And by connecting real-time data from X, Grok could respond to prompts about current events as they unfold..

随着8月份Grok-2测试版的发布，用户能够通过文本提示创建图像，并将其发布到社交平台上。正如研究人员今年夏天所展示的那样，由于缺乏过滤器，许多图像非常不合适。通过连接X的实时数据，Grok可以在当前事件发生时对提示做出响应。。

Government observers, citing a looseness and general disdain for safe AI and social media standards as pervading Grok, reacted. In addition to requisitions from the European Union for potential violations of the Digital Safety Act, nine states sent letters about 2024 election misinformation created using the platform..

政府观察人士对此作出了回应，他们引用了对安全人工智能和社交媒体标准普遍存在的松散和普遍蔑视。除了因可能违反《数字安全法》而被欧盟征用外，九个国家还发出了关于2024年选举错误信息的信函。。

'X has the responsibility to ensure all voters using your platform have access to guidance that reflects true and accurate information about their constitutional right to vote,' Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon said in an August 5 letter.

明尼苏达州国务卿史蒂夫·西蒙（SteveSimon）在8月5日的一封信中说，X有责任确保所有使用您平台的选民都能获得反映其宪法投票权的真实准确信息的指导。

'We urge X to immediately adopt a policy of directing Grok users to CanIVote.org when asked about elections in the U.S.'

“当被问及美国的选举时，我们敦促X立即采取一项政策，引导Grok用户访问canivate.org”

Harvesting data and when HIPAA applies

收集数据以及何时应用HIPAA

At least one privacy expert has raised concerns that HIPAA-covered entities participating in efforts to improve Grok's accuracy on healthcare data via social media could compromise patient privacy in the U.S.

至少有一位隐私专家担心，参与通过社交媒体提高Grok医疗数据准确性的HIPAA覆盖实体可能会损害美国患者的隐私。

And European government leaders previously questioned developer xAI for suspected violations of GDPR. On August 6, the Irish Data Protection Commission asked the High Court of Ireland to stop the social media network from harvesting account holder data to train the Grok LLM.

而欧洲政府领导人此前曾因开发商xAI涉嫌违反GDPR而对其进行质询。8月6日，爱尔兰数据保护委员会（Irish Data Protection Commission）要求爱尔兰高等法院（Higher Court of Ireland）停止社交媒体网络收集账户持有人数据，以培训Grok LLM。

However, if users ask Grok something, it does not automatically post to the X social media platform – users would need to do that directly at this time, said Lee Kim, senior principal for cybersecurity and privacy at HIMSS, the parent company of Healthcare IT News.

然而，如果用户问Grok什么，它不会自动发布到X社交媒体平台上，用户此时需要直接这样做，医疗保健it新闻母公司HIMSS网络安全和隐私高级负责人Lee Kim表示。

'Right now, you can toggle on or off — show your posts as well as your interactions, inputs and results with Grok to be used for training and fine-tuning,' Kim said Monday, sharing a screenshot. 'You can also choose to delete your conversation history.'

周一，Kim分享了一张截图，他说：“现在，你可以打开或关闭你的帖子，以及你与Grok的互动、输入和结果，用于培训和微调。”您也可以选择删除您的对话历史记录。”

While users can make some choices according to xAI's privacy policy, 'they need to be aware of how their data is used and handled,' said Kim. HIPAA can apply to data shared on social media platforms if a covered entity discloses protected patient information, she explained.

虽然用户可以根据xAI的隐私政策做出一些选择，但Kim说，“他们需要知道自己的数据是如何使用和处理的。”。她解释说，如果受保护实体披露受保护的患者信息，HIPAA可以应用于社交媒体平台上共享的数据。

'It all depends on who is disclosing the information,' said Kim. 'If it's a covered entity, business associate or organized health care arrangement, HIPAA does apply.'

金说，这完全取决于谁在披露信息如果是受保实体、业务伙伴或有组织的医疗保健安排，HIPAA确实适用。”
