"The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is a dynamic discipline with immense potential to impact and revolutionize public health. The advancement of large language models (LLMs) like Chat GPT and other applications requires comprehensive and ongoing research and careful deliberation within the public health discipline to assess both the opportunities and risks associated with their future implementation. Accordingly, it is critical to prioritize the preparation of public health systems and their organizations for the impending data and systems transformation required to effectively harness the power of AI in future applications".
