Abstract

In recent years, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into medicine has marked a transformative shift in healthcare practices. This study explores the application of ChatGPT 3.5, an AI-based natural language processing model, in the field of pathology, with a focus on Clinical Pathology, Histopathology, and Hematology. Leveraging a dataset of 30 clinical cases from an online source, the model's performance was evaluated, revealing moderate proficiency in data analysis and decision support. While ChatGPT demonstrated strengths in swift narrative comprehension and foundational insights, limitations were observed in generating detailed and comprehensive information. The study emphasizes the evolving nature of AI in pathology, highlighting the need for ongoing refinement and collaborative efforts between AI researchers and healthcare professionals.
