Antibiotics and Artificial Intelligence: Clinical Considerations on a Rapidly Evolving Landscape.

ABSTRACT: The growing interest in leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) tools for healthcare decision-making extends to improving antibiotic prescribing. Large language models (LLMs), a type of AI trained on extensive datasets from diverse sources, can process and generate contextually relevant text. While their potential to enhance patient outcomes is significant, implementing LLM-based support for antibiotic prescribing is complex. Here, we specifically expand the discussion on this crucial topic by introducing three interconnected perspectives: (1) the distinctive commonalities, but also the crucial conceptual differences, between the use of LLMs as assistants in scientific writing and in supporting antibiotic prescribing in real-world practice; (2) the possibility and nuances of the expertise
