Abstract
In recent years, generative AI has attracted significant public attention, and its use has been rapidly expanding across a wide range of domains. From creative tasks such as text summarization, idea generation, and source code generation, to the streamlining of medical support tasks like diagnostic report generation and summarization, AI is now deeply involved in many areas. Today's breadth of AI applications is clearly distinct from what was seen before generative AI gained widespread recognition. Representative generative AI services include DALL-E 3 (OpenAI, California, USA) and Stable Diffusion (Stability AI, London, England, UK) for image generation, ChatGPT (OpenAI, California, USA), and Gemini (Google, California, USA) for text generation. The rise of generative AI has been influenced by advances in deep learning models and the scaling up of data, models, and computational resources based on the scaling laws. Moreover, the emergence of foundation models, which are trained on large-scale datasets and possess general-purpose knowledge applicable to various downstream tasks, is creating a new paradigm in AI development. These shifts brought about by generative AI and foundation models also profoundly impact medical image processing, fundamentally changing the framework for AI development in healthcare. This paper provides an overview of diffusion models used in image generation AI and large language models (LLMs) used in text generation AI, and introduces their applications in medical support. This paper also discusses foundation models, which are gaining attention alongside generative AI, including their construction methods and applications in the medical field. Finally, the paper explores how to develop foundation models and high-performance AI for medical support by fully utilizing national data and computational resources.
