“Healthcare” is pretty broad—certainly some parts of it are safety critical and some are less. I am not familiar with all the applications of language models for healthcare but If you are using LLM for improving efficiency in healthcare documentation then I would not call it safety critical. If you are connecting an LLM to a robot performing surgery then I would call it safety critical.
It’s also a question of whether AIs outputs are used without supervision. If doctors or patients ask a charbot questions, I would not call it safety critical since the AI is not autonomously making the decisions.
Fair distinctions yeah. I’d still be surprised if AI isn’t yet deployed in safety-critical domains, but I hear you re: the view on specific healthcare stuff
