ChatGPT, the most accessible generative AI tool, offers considerable potential for veterinary medicine. This session concisely synthesizes the latest research and practical applications of ChatGPT within the clinical, educational, and research domains of veterinary medicine. It intends to provide specific guidance and actionable examples of how generative AI can be directly utilized by veterinary professionals without a programming background. For practitioners, ChatGPT can extract patient data, generate progress notes, and potentially assist in diagnosing complex cases. Veterinary educators can create custom GPTs for student support, while students can utilize ChatGPT for exam preparation. In research, ChatGPT can aid in academic writing tasks, but veterinary publishers have set specific requirements for authors to follow. Despite its transformative potential, careful use is essential to avoid pitfalls like hallucination. This session also addresses ethical considerations, provides learning resources, and offers tangible examples to guide responsible implementation. By highlighting potential benefits and limitations, this session equips veterinarians, educators, and researchers to harness the power of ChatGPT effectively.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the various applications of ChatGPT and generative AI technologies in veterinary medicine, including their roles in clinical decision-making, education, and research.
Upon completion, participants will be able to identify the ethical considerations, limitations, and regulatory requirements associated with the use of AI tools in veterinary practice, ensuring responsible and informed integration into their work.
Upon completion, participants will be able to demonstrate practical knowledge in crafting effective prompts for ChatGPT to enhance its utility in veterinary settings, drawing from examples provided in the session.
