The transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care has been forecast for decades, but only recently have technological advances appeared to capture some of the complexity of health and disease and how health care is delivered. Recent emergence of large language models (LLMs) in highly visible and interactive applications has ignited interest in how new AI technologies can improve medicine and health for patients, the public, clinicians, health systems, and more. The rapidity of these developments, their potential impact on health care, and JAMA’s mission to publish the best science that advances medicine and public health compel the journal to renew its commitment to facilitating the rigorous scientific development, evaluation, and implementation of AI in health care.
