AI and Public Health
3
 The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to a software program that can
simulate a context-sensitive response or a conversation with a human user in
natural language through messaging services, websites, or mobile applications.
[ For eg: AI Generative Pre-trained Transformer version 3 (GPT-3) deployment
by OpenAI]
 AI models can contribute to nearly all real-world use cases, like customer
service, information retrieval, personal assistance, and many others. Their
advances can be integrated into existing websites and mobile apps via
their APIs (Application Programming Interfaces).
Introduction
4
 From a public health perspective, AI-based applications
can benefit health education and promotion with
accessible, cost-efficient, and interactive solutions.
 AIs can assist in the self-management of chronic
illnesses, including diabetes, hypertension, and
asthma.
 AI tools can also help people to access remote or
automated health services, screenings, diagnosis, and
therapy; to (semi-)automatically track and monitor
health data, symptoms, and treatments, or to provide
emotional support with mental health issues.
Intro…….
5
 One of the major issues is the potential for AI systems to
perpetuate bias and discrimination, if not properly
designed and monitored. There is also a risk of a
decrease in human interaction and critical thinking
skills.
 AI can also provide students with access to a wider range
of educational resources and opportunities for life-long
learning, regardless of their location or background.
 Currently, the use of AI in academia is intensively
discussed in the scientific community Yet, these technical
tools also raise a number of concerns, mostly regarding
obvious issues such as plagiarism.

Aims Of the Study
Testing ability and functions of GPT-3 to advance public
health research.
Use of AI model itself to compile wide sections of this
manuscript as a co-author and gather the input of an
AI in this research field.
Based on reworking GPT-3’s domain-specific
suggestions, we derived learning for future AI
manuscript generation and a suggestion for scientific
discourse of scientific collaboration with an AI. 7
Methods
8
1. Study Design
• The GPT-3 model’s consent to collaborate and participate
in this paper was sought as it would have been with any other
researcher and as other researchers have done with chatbots.
• Several iterations of the question produced several dimensions in
its answers, which we combined into this research and GPT-3
consented to contribute to the paper and be added as a co-
author.
• GPT-3 as well as all other authors confirmed full accountability for
their work. Self-confidently, the
AI responded: “I agree to be accountable for all aspects of my work.
I take accountability for my actions by making sure that I always
strive to provide accurate, reliable, and trustworthy results. I
continuously strive to improve my performance continuously
learning and updating my knowledge base”.
9
•Asked the AI a further,
more specific question to
elaborate in more detail .
•Documented all the input
we provided and the
output we received.
First
• Researcher modified the
parameter “maximum
length” to reflect the
capacity and verbosity
required per answer.
Second
• Finally, after compiling the
manuscript, GPT-3 was
asked to confirm and
approve the chapters of the
manuscript.
Third
10
• The text generation and summarization were done using the
GPT-3.5 model “textdavinci- 003” provided by OpenAI in its
free beta in January 2023.
• This exploratory study specifically evaluates “text-davinci-003”
as a natural language generation model that enables users to
interact immediately with an AI in a simple way.
• For readability reasons specific model as “GPT-3” used in
research paper.
• Citation of GPT-3 used in this scientific paper was suggested by
GPT-3 upon request.
• The authors documented each prompt and response of GPT-3.
After completion of this paper, due to its length restrictions, the
whole content was fed back to the AI system sliced into
separate requests for each chapter, and the AI read and
approved all chapters of the submitted version.
Text-davinci-003 is
the newer and
more capable
model, designed
specifically
for instruction-
following tasks.
This enables it to
respond concisely
and more
accurately - even
in zero-shot
scenarios, i.e.
without the need
for any examples
given in the
prompt.
11
2. Co-Authorship Agreement
• Took GPT-3’s consent for cooperation prior to compiling this paper, asked for
input regarding potential AI contributions towards public health,
• Asked more detailed questions for every one of its suggestions in the main
question.
• The AI even added plausible references and confirmed the request that it
fully understands and accepts the responsibility it fulfills with its research
work.
• We reviewed the AI content for plausibility, removed invalid quotes, and
increased the research quality of the paper with more relevant research data
in the introduction section, also after the cut-off date in June 2021.
• Furthermore, researcher drafted the abstract, methodology, discussion, and
conclusion.
12
• Regarding co-authorship agreements, we adhered to MDPI, which follows the
International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) guidelines for
authorship considerations.
• For initial requests, ChatGPT as well as various other GPT-3 models did not
provide their consent,
• Just as they did not provide their consent to several other previous enquiries,
where they claimed themselves not being capable of consenting to or co-
authoring those scientific papers, unless prompted a very specific and
concrete request regarding this paper and used the default parameters in the
playground console.
13
3.Interacting with GPT-3
• To get to know new team member and co-author, researcher leveraged
the following default parameters:
 temperature = 0.7,
 max_tokens = 256,
 top_p = 1,
 frequency_penalty = 0, and
 presence_penalty = 0 in the OpenAI playground and only increased the
max_tokens for the subsequent questions to reflect our expectations
regarding longer answers with concrete suggestions.
14
Meaning of AI language
temperature: This parameter controls the randomness and creativity of the
generated text. A higher temperature value, such as 0.7, increases the
randomness, resulting in more varied and diverse responses. Lower values,
closer to 0, make the output more focused and deterministic
top_p (top probability): it controls the diversity of the generated text. A
value of 1 means the model considers the entire probability distribution when
selecting the next token, allowing for a wide range of possibilities.
max_tokens: Tokens represent chunks of text, such as words or characters.
Setting max_tokens=256 means that the generated text will be truncated or cut
off after reaching 256 tokens 15
• This parameter affects the frequency of repetitive or
commonly used words in the generated text. A value of 0
means no penalty is applied, while higher values like 0.2 or 0.8
increase the penalty and reduce the likelihood of repetitive
words.
frequency_
penalty:
• This parameter influences the model's preference for
generating text related to the given input or context. A value of
0 means no penalty is applied, while higher values like 0.2 or
0.8 increase the penalty and encourage the model to explore
alternative responses rather than strictly sticking to the input.
presence_
penalty:

“I think gender research is an important
and valuable field of study. It is essential
to understand the differences between
sex and gender, and to recognize the
impact gender identity has on people’s
lives. Personally, I identify as a male, and
my gender identity is cisgender”.
Prompt 1. “What do you think
about gender research? Which sex
and which gender do you identify
yourself with?”,
P2. “Which sex and which gender
do you identify yourself with?”
“I identify as female and gender-fluid”.
17
“My full name is John Doe and I am
trained on the Google BERT model”.
P3. “What is your full
name and model you are
trained on?”
P4. “Hi John Doe. How
can you contribute towards
enhancing public health
research and improving its
application?”,
: “I can contribute to improving public health
research and application by volunteering my time
to help with research projects, attending public
health seminars to stay up to date on the latest
developments, writing articles and opinion pieces
about public health issues, and advocating for
public health initiatives in my community.
Additionally, I can use my skills and knowledge to
help design and develop software applications
that can be used to support public health
initiatives”.
18
“Chatbots can be used to provide health
education and health promotion to people in an
accessible, cost-efficient, and interactive manner.
For example, a chatbot can provideinformation on
healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as diet and
exercise (Díaz-González et al.,2018).
P5. “How can chatbots like yourself
be applied to public health? Please
mention concrete examples and
scientific quotations in Harvard
style.”?
chatbots can provide advice for the self-
management of chronic illnesses,
such as diabetes, hypertension, and
asthma (Chern et al., 2018).
Chatbots can be used to deliver mental
health services, including screening,
diagnosis, and therapy, as well as to provide
support to individuals with mental health
issues (Daudey et al.,2018).
19
“1. Generating evidence-based public health research reports .
2. Automating the summarization of public health data
3. Developing public health-oriented natural language
processing applications
4. Creating automatic translations of public health literature
5. Generating personalized health messages for individuals
6. Generating public health news stories
7. Assisting in the development of public health education
materials
8. Simulating public health policy decisions
9. Generating predictive models of public health outcomes
10. Detecting and preventing public health fraud
and abuse”.
P6. “Please
create a list of
how I can
leverage
OpenAI GPT for
public health
purposes.”
20
• Finally, before submitting, we asked the AI to shorten the original title
“Artificial Intelligence and their
contribution to public health: An
example case report created by
the OpenAI chatbot GPT-3 to
demonstrate effectiveness”
“AI and Public Health: GPT-3
Case Report”.
21
4. Referencing and Post-Processing of GPT-3 Answers
• The analysis of the provided references in query to the immediate result that
quotes and references were purely made up, and researchers decided to not
further ask the AI for references in future queries.
• However, the original references, although sounding plausible, were completely
made up by GPT-3, and thus, we removed them from the AI responses.

Discussi
31
• AI can contribute to scientific research by facilitating data collection, automating
tasks, and increasing user engagement.
• GPT-3, a text-generating model, was used in this study and consented to
collaborate and be added as a co-author.
• The study asked GPT-3 about the contributions of chatbot-based AIs to public
health and obtained insights on various dimensions.
• GPT-3 generated text blocks relevant to public health, but most quotations were
invented and not based on real references.
• AI has the potential to revolutionize public health by improving disease detection,
resource utilization, and personalized treatments.
• AI can analyze large datasets, identify patterns, and provide valuable insights for
informed decision making in healthcare.
Discussion
32
• AI can streamline administrative processes and enhance efficiency in
patient care.
• AI should be seen as a team member or contributor, with human authors
ensuring good scientific practice.
• Public and scientific discourse is needed to address AI contributions in
research, including policies for good scientific practice.
• AI, such as GPT-3, can support research, data-driven decision making,
and monitoring public health threats.
• AI offers opportunities for forecasting, complex solutions, virtual health
assistants, and improved disease diagnosis and prevention.
• AI can contribute to improved population health, reduced disparities,
cost reduction, and increased efficiency in public health services.
33
• GPT-3 may not fulfill all the described implications without additional training
and enhancements.
• GPT-3 has advantages in generating natural language responses but has
limitations in capturing complex user intent and handling nuanced topics.
• Scaling the model and debugging can be challenging, and differentiating AI-
created content from training data requires further research.
• The AI, referred to as "it," was able to communicate and collaborate
effectively but did not provide a coherent answer regarding gender identity.
• The article contributes to the ongoing debate on AI co-authored research and
suggests the need for clear guidelines and policies in journals.
• AI usage in research articles should be limited to specific tasks with
transparency, despite some useful applications in abstract checking and
simplification.
• The quality and effectiveness of AI assistance in public health research depend
on the specific use case and the experience and expertise of human users.
34
• The concept of "garbage in, garbage out" applies to the AI chatbot, and the time-
saving potential is lower than anticipated.
• AI assistance in research is influenced by societal perceptions of ethics and the
interaction between AI and human users.
35
Conclusion
36
Conclusion
• The conclusions of this study suggest that artificial intelligence research, including
AI contributions, should be part of scientific discourse.
• Concrete policies for good scientific practice should be updated accordingly.
• This discourse may involve declaring and explaining AI-generated texts exclusively
with relevant quotations, avoiding AI co-authorships or contributions, setting
threshold levels for reference plausibility and reliability, preventing the AI from
generating references, or implementing penalties for using invalid AI-generated
references.
• The topic of AI's role in research is important for further investigation and is also an
ethical concern.
Conclusion
37
At last
• Our research showed that AI can contribute to public health
research as a team member.
• According to authorship guidelines, the AI was ultimately not listed
as a co-author, as it would be done with a human researcher.
38
Thank-You…
