ABSTRACT

The release of a dialogue-based artificial intelligence language model called chatGPT (https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/) has garnered global attention. An exploratory study published by The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) demonstrated the potential of interactive AI to assist clinical workflows by augmenting patient education and patient-clinician communication. Our study was conducted in February 2023, and we formulated 37 questions that focused on perioperative patient education in the context of thoracic surgery. We made two inquiries to chatGPT for each question, one in English and the other in Chinese, and evaluated the appropriateness and comprehensiveness of the responses separately in both languages. Experienced thoracic surgical clinicians assessed the responses. Thirty-four (91.9%) responses were qualified both in English and Chinese contexts, demonstrating the potential feasibility for perioperative patient education in thoracic surgery.
