Abstract

Biomedical engineering is a relatively young interdisciplinary field based on engineering, biology, and medicine. Of note, the rapid progress of artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies has made a significant impact on the biomedical engineering field, and continuously bring innovations and breakthroughs. Recently, ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI company, has gained tremendous attention due to its powerful natural language generation and understanding ability. In this study, we explored potential of GPT-4 in the eight branches of biomedical engineering including medical imaging, medical devices, bioinformatics, biomaterials, biomechanics, gene and cell engineering, tissue engineering, and neural engineering. Our results show that the application of GPT-4 will bring new opportunities for the development of this field.
