Description
Lars Riedemann, Maxime Labonne, and Stephen Gilbert argue that the future of large language models in medicine must be open. Their commentary appeared in twenty twenty-four. Such models already draft notes and summaries in clinics, and some propose them for decision support.
The authors hold that closed models block control over safety and quality. Open models let developers inspect and steer the system under the tool. They also let clinicians hold the model to account. Choosing a model, the authors stress, is a strategic act, not a mere technical pick. It reflects what an organization values. Closed systems may still suit some settings that prize easy upkeep and vendor support. The authors close by urging the field onto the open path.
