“…Artificial intelligence (AI) can be powerful in scenario generation and prediction by leveraging machine learning algorithms to analyze large amounts of data and identify patterns that can be used to make predictions [1,17]. This can be useful in a variety of fields such as finance, healthcare, and weather forecasting, to name a few.…”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the power to generate scenarios and make predictions through the use of advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques. OpenAI’s GPT-3 AI is a state-of-the-art language model that has been trained on a large dataset of text, which allows it to generate hu-man-like text, and it can generate scenarios for different fields. However, GPT-3 was trained on data available up until June 2021, had no access to more recent data nor was connected to the internet. In this study, we investigated the capability of OpenAI’s GPT-3 AI to predict the Ukrainian war es-calation, which started in 2022 and had massive geopolitical effects. We used GPT-3´s capability to generate future scenarios, to check those scenarios for internal consistency, and to create a proba-bility estimate. The results showed that although GPT-3 described an open war as one of the low probability scenarios, its capability on predicting the future was limited. Furthermore, it became evident that checking internal consistency of the generated scenarios could be improved. We ap-preciated GPT-3 as very useful and powerful for generating future scenarios, but also concluded that its prediction capabilities of real-world events are limited, should be used with caution, and require further development.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a real training ground in this field and an unexpected growth stimulus never experienced before, with the consolidation of ancient areas and the exploration of new areas. Furthermore, even in TH and DH, one can currently count on the use of emerging technologies, such as robotics [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ], augmented reality [ 28 ], virtual reality [ 29 ], and artificial intelligence [ 30 , 31 ]. Moreover, assistive technologies have played a strategic role during the pandemic as they were consolidated in the context of different applications and disabilities relating communication and motion [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ].…”

“…Additionally, an AI model can be trained to provide personalized health advice tailored to a user's medical history, lifestyle, and preferences, which enables users to access health information and make more informed health decisions [6]. These applications of AI have been validated through multiple studies and are gaining traction in the public health sector [7,8]. Furthermore, in the future, AI-based applications could be used to help inform the public about health issues [3][4][5].…”

“…So, the public health implications for AI applications are evidence-based and their use for customized health promotion and disease prevention as well as in rehabilitation and disease management are promising [7,8]. Nevertheless, the use of an AI as personal virtual assistant in the scientific community is still in its infancy [2].…”

“…For academic higher education, the introduction of artificial intelligence is intensively discussed in the media and in the academia since it gained in popularity just recently, as it presents both issues and opportunities despite the immense inherent potential [7,12]. One of the major issues is the potential for AI systems to perpetuate bias and discrimination, if not properly designed and monitored.…”

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize research by automating data analysis, generating new insights, and supporting the discovery of new knowledge. The top 10 contribution areas of AI towards public health were gathered in this feasibility study. We utilized the “text-davinci-003” model of GPT-3, using OpenAI playground default parameters. The model was trained with the largest training dataset any AI had, limited to a cut-off date in 2021. This study aimed to test the ability of GPT-3 to advance public health and to explore the feasibility of using AI as scientific co-author. The AI was asked for input including scientific quotations and the human authors reviewed responses for plausibility. We found that GPT-3 was able to assemble, summarize, and generate plausible text blocks relevant for public health concerns, elucidating valuable areas of application for itself. However, most quotations were invented by GPT-3 and thus, invalid. Ac-cording to today’s rules, we conclude that AI can contribute to public health research as a team member. Nevertheless, good scientific practice needs to be also followed for AI contributions, and a broad scientific discourse on AI contributions is needed. Policies for good scientific practice should be updated timely following this discourse.
