However, concerns about ethical implications and potential biases have been raised by various stakeholders. Here, we evaluate the ethics of LLMs in medicine along 2 key axes: empathy and equity. We outline the importance of these factors in novel models of care and develop frameworks for addressing these alongside LLM deployment. %M 38153778 %R 10.2196/51199 %U https://mededu.jmir.org/2023/1/e51199 %U https://doi.org/10.2196/51199 %U http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/38153778
