Dr. Harvey Castro, a board-certified emergency medicine physician and national speaker on artificial intelligence based in Dallas, Texas, referred to Grok’s potential ability to read medical scans as "promising and complex."

"As an ER physician, I’ve seen firsthand how crucial quick, accurate diagnostics are in life-threatening situations," Castro told Fox News Digital.

"AI can be a powerful tool in augmenting medical expertise, potentially accelerating diagnosis and improving patient outcomes."

Caution is essential, experts say

While Grok and other AI models show promise in interpreting medical scans, both experts agree that users should proceed with caution.

"Doctors still need to guide the way or be available remotely to oversee guidance," Siegel said.

"This is still early stage, but it is already quite accurate and will become extremely good," Elon Musk, co-founder of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of X Holdings Corp., wrote about Grok. (Apu Gomes/Getty Images)

"It will not replace doctors entirely, but will be a very useful partner."

Castro emphasized that medical AI must meet the "highest standards of accuracy and reliability, particularly when dealing with sensitive, life-impacting information."
