RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of ChatGPT, a cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) language model developed by OpenAI, in successfully completing the French language version of the European Board of Ophthalmology (EBO) examination and to assess its potential role in medical education and knowledge assessment. METHODS: ChatGPT, based on the GPT-4 architecture, was exposed to a series of EBO examination questions in French, covering various aspects of ophthalmology. The AI's performance was evaluated by comparing its responses with the correct answers provided by ophthalmology experts. Additionally, the study assessed the time taken by ChatGPT to answer each question as a measure of efficiency. RESULTS: ChatGPT achieved a 91% success rate on the EBO examination, demonstrating a high level of competency in ophthalmology knowledge and application. The AI provided correct answers across all question categories, indicating a strong understanding of basic sciences, clinical knowledge, and clinical management. The AI model also answered the questions rapidly, taking only a fraction of the time needed by human test-takers. CONCLUSION: ChatGPT's performance on the French language version of the EBO examination demonstrates its potential to be a valuable tool in medical education and knowledge assessment. Further research is needed to explore optimal ways to implement AI language models in medical education and to address the associated ethical and practical concerns.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Early diagnosis and appropriate management of the disease are essential to avoid a significant impact on the quality of life of millions of patients and the socioeconomic impact on societies. Education is the hallmark of good medical care. The European Glaucoma Society (EGS) has dedicated significant efforts to provide means of improving education, training, and testing knowledge in the field of glaucoma. The Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology Subspecialty (FEBOS)-Glaucoma examination, introduced and organized yearly by the EGS since 2015 in collaboration with the European Board of Ophthalmology (EBO), has become a valuable tool for increasing overall knowledge in the field. Over the 8 years of experience, several updates and new projects have emerged around the examination to further increase the overall quality of education, training, and knowledge in the field of glaucoma in Europe, particularly in UEMS and associated countries. This article discusses in detail the various projects and measures introduced by the EGS.
