NLP for Maternal Healthcare: Perspectives and Guiding Principles in the Age of LLMs

1 code implementation19 Dec 2023 Maria Antoniak, Aakanksha Naik, Carla S. Alvarado, Lucy Lu Wang, Irene Y. Chen

Ethical frameworks for the use of natural language processing (NLP) are urgently needed to shape how large language models (LLMs) and similar tools are used for healthcare applications.
