Professors are harnessing generative artificial intelligence as a patient simulator at Emory, as a teaching assistant at Morehouse and for chatbots at Georgia State. But they don't expect it will replace them any time soon. The fit, 41-year-old white male lay in a hospital bed and complained about a headache. Hal introduced himself to the Emory University nursing class gathered around his bedside. He shook a student’s hand and provided his medical history. No allergies, no surgeries. He has high blood pressure but isn’t taking any medication. The students had not expected the demonstration to feel so real. Because here’s the thing about Hal: He’s a robot. (Its official name is HAL S5301.) A $135,000 patient simulator with silicone skin, uncanny eye movements and artificial intelligence.
