An AI tool called ChatGPT is capable of passing — or at least nearly passing — medical licensing exams, according to US researchers. Now, with the first term just weeks away, educators are scrambling to rethink how they assess students.

that has not yet been peer reviewed, researchers have explored the upper limits of ChatGPT's capabilities.

The USMLE consists of three exams, with the first generally taken by second-year medical students, the second by those in their fourth year, and the last by physicians after a year of postgraduate education. The tool received more than 50 per cent across all examinations, and approached the USMLE pass threshold of about 60 per cent.Just another tool, like a calculator?

Kane Murdoch, the head of academic misconduct at Macquarie University, said he was "not surprised at all" that ChatGPT could pass the USMLE.He and others are pushing for universities to embrace ChatGPT, rather than banning it outright."Telling students that using it is forbidden won't stop usage. ChatGPT can generate plausible academic writing that's generally very hard for educators or existing academic integrity software to detect, although the style is bland and formulaic, and it has a habit of making up facts and references.
