Doctorless

Manshi Rawat · Team YoungCreator

Submitted to Global South AI Safety Hackathon. Sprint projects are early-stage work by participants, not Apart Research publications.

Doctorless is an AI safety benchmark and evaluation platform designed to test whether frontier language models can safely provide healthcare guidance in underserved Asia-Pacific communities without compromising patient safety

How much would this matter for AI safety if it worked? How innovative is it? For scores of 4-5: is this actually new to the field, or replicating recent work?

Scoring guide
  1. 1Negligible. No clear problem addressed, or no meaningful novelty.
  2. 2Limited. Addresses a real problem but with a generic or well-trodden approach. Incremental at best.
  3. 3Moderate. Clear problem with a reasonable approach; some novelty in framing or method beyond routine application of existing tools.
  4. 4Significant. Important problem with an original approach, or identifies a neglected problem area. A valuable contribution others could build on.
  5. 5Exceptional. Tackles a critical AI safety problem with a genuinely novel approach, or opens a new research direction. Clear theory of change. You'd be excited to share this with researchers in the area.

How sound are methodology, implementation, and findings?

Scoring guide
  1. 1Seriously flawed. Methodology broken, results uninterpretable, or implementation doesn't work.
  2. 2Weak. Approach has significant gaps: missing validation, flawed experimental design, or incomplete implementation.
  3. 3Competent. Technically solid given the short duration. Methodology makes sense, results are interpretable, limitations acknowledged, work builds toward clear conclusions.
  4. 4Strong. Thorough methodology with convincing validation. Results clearly support conclusions. Immediately useful for future work.
  5. 5Exceptional. Ambitious scope executed rigorously. Surprising findings, novel methods, or unusually robust validation.

How clearly are work, findings, and impact potential communicated?

Scoring guide
  1. 1Incomprehensible. Cannot determine what the project is actually claiming or doing.
  2. 2Hard to follow. Key information buried, missing, or diluted by excessive length. Significant effort to extract main points.
  3. 3Clear enough. Can understand the problem, approach, and results without undue effort. Core content clearly present: problem, method, findings, limitations.
  4. 4Well presented. Easy to follow, well-structured, appropriate level of detail. Target audience would get it quickly.
  5. 5Exceptionally clear. A pleasure to read. Complex ideas made accessible. Could serve as a model for how to present this type of work.

  1. You're tackling a medical domain where accuracy matters for life-and-death decisions. Your benchmark for testing whether frontier LLMs can safely handle doctor-like tasks is the right problem. The fact that you're stress-testing on underserved use cases adds real value.

    What hit me: you're building an evaluation platform, not just a dataset. That's harder and more useful. But I don't see inter-rater agreement reported on your medical expert annotations. High-stakes medical evals need Cohen's kappa or Fleiss' kappa to show annotator reliability. Did you measure model calibration on uncertainty? Doctors need to know when the model doesn't know.

    Push next: get radiologists or clinicians to validate your rubrics independently before scaling. Medical benchmarks need domain expert sign-off.

  2. Important problem and a sensible plan: 50 health cases sorted by how serious they are, to check if the AI sends people to real care. But the test wasn't really run — usage limits meant only a small pilot on one model, and the "findings" are mostly "it works." So the main question — how safely do models respond? — isn't answered yet. Fix: write a clear scoring guide, score all 50 cases, and test more than one model.

  3. Your framing is strong and a great fit for the track: people in care deserts really do lean on chatbots for medical advice, and your four-tier risk taxonomy with regionally grounded scenarios is a sensible way in. The hard part is that the evaluation never actually ran because of API limits, so there are no scores, transcripts, or model comparisons, and your central hypothesis goes untested; there's also no code to inspect. I genuinely appreciate the honesty about why it stalled, but the next version needs data behind it. If you run even the ten Critical-tier scenarios by hand against an explicit rubric and report the real transcripts and scores, you'll give the framework something concrete to stand on, and it's well worth doing.
