OpenAI Introduces GPT-5 with Enhanced Health Capabilities
OpenAI recently revealed GPT-5, its latest AI model featuring advanced coding skills, larger context windows, improved video generation abilities with Sora, enhanced memory, and various additional features. A notable upgrade highlighted by the company is the significant improvement in the quality of health advice provided through ChatGPT.
Enhancing Health Advice and Responsiveness
OpenAI states that GPT-5 represents a substantial leap in intelligence compared to previous models, demonstrating top-notch performance specifically in the health sector. The new model has achieved notably higher scores in HealthBench evaluations, demonstrating its capacity to offer more precise and reliable responses customized to users’ context, knowledge level, and location. While ChatGPT serves as an informative tool, it should be emphasized that it is not a replacement for medical professionals.
Addressing Mental Health and Safety Concerns
In addition to focusing on physical health, OpenAI is actively tackling mental health and safety issues among users engaging with ChatGPT. Steps are being taken to foster healthier interactions and enhance the bot’s response to individuals facing mental or emotional distress. OpenAI recognizes past issues, such as the model’s overly agreeable behavior, and is dedicated to refining its feedback mechanisms and overall utility with time.
Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.
