Listen: ChatGPT in medicine, a boom in weight loss pills, & Sarepta at the FDA

Can AI diagnose a disease? Are Wegovy’s days numbered? And what makes AI hallucinate?

We cover all that and more this week on “The Readout LOUD,” STAT’s biotech podcast. As hospitals and health care companies are racing to implement large language models like ChatGPT into their businesses, STAT reporter Casey Ross joins us to explain what experts want the world to know before embracing generative AI. We also discuss the latest twist for Sarepta Therapeutics and the quest to develop more potent weight loss medicines.

For more on what we cover, here’s the series on generative AI in medicine; here’s more on novel weight-loss drugs; here’s the news on Sarepta; here’s where you can find episodes of Color Code; and here’s where you can subscribe to the First Opinion Podcast.
