Surgeons Work to Improve AI Simplification of Consent Forms Across Languages

August 4, 2026

In the latest episode of The Operative Word from JACS podcast, host Dr. Lillian Erdahl is joined by Dr. Morgan Pettigrew to discuss Dr. Pettigrew’s recent article, “Artificial Intelligence Simplification of English and Spanish Surgical Consent Forms: 1-Size Does Not Fit All.” The authors found that while ChatGPT-4.0 improved the readability of English surgical consent forms, it did not improve the readability of Spanish forms. To address this disparity, they developed a custom-trained GPT that improved the readability of English and Spanish consent forms.
