Locally Run Large Language Models May Help Preserve Patient Privacy

October 20, 2023 - Researchers from the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (NIH CC) found that a locally run, privacy-preserving large language model (LLM) may be suitable for labeling radiography reports, according to a study published last week in Radiology. While LLMs like ChatGPT have recently been lauded for their ability to generate human-like text...
