4. Dos and Don'ts When Using LLMs
Best Practices: Essential tips for effectively and safely using LLMs in a medical setting.
Report LLM Utilization in Publications: If you're using insights or content generated by an LLM in your research or publication, disclose this for transparency and ethical considerations.
Exercise Discretion with Internet-Enabled LLMs: When using models like ChatGPT-4, which can access real-time information, verify the accuracy and use them judiciously.
Use for Non-Confidential Tasks: Employ LLMs for brainstorming, drafting non-confidential documents, or generating educational content.
Leverage for Data Analysis: Utilize LLMs in analyzing and interpreting non-sensitive data, beneficial for research and statistical analysis.
Editorial Assistance in Research Papers: Utilize Generative AI for drafting, editing, and refining research papers, ensuring alignment with publication guidelines.
Summarization Aid in Literature Reviews: Use Generative AI for summarizing literature but verify the accuracy against original sources.
Writing Code and Data Analysis: Apply Generative AI for code generation in data analysis tasks, ensuring to verify the output for accuracy.
Non-Technical Summaries and Translations: Use Generative AI to create summaries or translations, while ensuring they accurately represent your work.
Selecting Appropriate AI Model: Choose a Generative AI model that best fits your research needs, considering factors like open-source availability, accuracy, and cost.
Avoid Using Personal Health Information (PHI): Never process PHI through any LLM due to non-compliance with HIPAA and risk of data breaches.
Refrain from Uploading Confidential Data: Avoid using LLMs for tasks involving confidential information, such as peer-reviewed papers or grant applications.
Do Not Use as a Reference Manager: LLMs are not designed to manage bibliographic databases or references.
Cautious Handling of Sensitive Data: Do not input text, data, or PDFs into LLMs that you are not comfortable with potentially being shared.
Avoid Creative Contributions in Papers: Refrain from using Generative AI for original idea generation in research papers to maintain academic integrity.
Grant Proposal and Paper Review: Do not use Generative AI for reviewing grant proposals or papers due to confidentiality concerns and lack of expert judgment.
AI as Co-Author: Never list Generative AI as a co-author in publications.
Beware of Bias and Security Risks: Always be vigilant about potential biases in AI outputs and aware of security risks in their usage, particularly in research contexts.
