Integrating Previous Suicide Attempts, Gender, and Age Into Suicide Risk Assessment Using Advanced Artificial Intelligence Models

Suicide is a critical global health concern. Research indicates that generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and large language models, such as generative pretrained transformer-3 (GPT-3) and GPT-4, can evaluate suicide risk comparably to experts, yet the criteria these models use are unclear. This study explores how variations in prompts, specifically regarding past suicide attempts, gender, and age, influence the risk assessments provided by ChatGPT-3 and ChatGPT-4.
