Handwritten labels and watermarks on histopathological images can unintentionally act as prompt injections, misleading vision–language models and resulting in inaccurate outputs that highlight a critical vulnerability in medical #AI systems. Learn more: nejm.ai/4mrSoEW

Finally out, in NEJM AI!
Everyday labels and watermarks can override medical knowledge of vision language models, just by their presence.

We are pushing for an acceleration… and it might end up coming.

It has been way too long until Europe started to slowly get moving.

Still need to do a lot

Jakob Nikolas Kather @jnkt.bsky.social · Feb 18

Really disappointed how slowly Europe (especially Germany) is moving these days
Obviously, to compete with US/China on any relevant topic (AI / economy / defense), we need more European integration, joing funding, joint efforts - and much much faster

Important study for medical LLMs… you don’t need „Med*“ {Llama/GPT/…} … just use the generalist model. It turns out that medical knowledge is just a subset of world knowledge and is less special than we doctors think.

Zachary Lipton @zacharylipton.bsky.social · Nov 26

Medically adapted foundation models (think Med-*) turn out to be more hot air than hot stuff. Correcting for fatal flaws in evaluation, the current crop are no better on balance than generic foundation models, even on the very tasks for which benefits are claimed.
