This article summarizes the use of artificial intelligence (AI) using ChatGPT to correlate decision-making in a pediatric surgery cardiovascular surgery conference by comparing expert consensus with results from ChatGPT. A total of 37 cases of varying complexity were submitted to ChatGPT, and the software was asked to summarize the case, provide a diagnosis, and suggest a treatment plan, including possible surgical options. Interestingly, there was a consensus on treatment plan approximately 94 percent of the time for simple cases; however, this dropped to only 25 percent for complex cases. This study further highlights the role of AI in medical decision-making, emphasizing its potential as a tool that can aid the medical community and the public in some ways while also cautioning against its pitfalls, which could lead to misinformation and inaccuracies.
