However, <em>ChatGPT4</em> has yet to be challenged in obstetric anesthesia clinical decision-making. <strong>Study Objective:</strong> In this study, we evaluated the performance of <em>ChatGPT4</em> in the management of clinical labor analgesia scenarios compared to expert obstetric anesthesiologists. <strong>Intervention:</strong> Eight clinical questions with progressively increasing medical complexity were posed to <em>ChatGPT4</em>. <strong>Measurements:</strong> The <em>ChatGPT4</em> responses were rated by seven expert obstetric anesthesiologists based on safety, accuracy and completeness of each response using a five-point Likert rating scale. <strong>Main Results:</strong> <em>ChatGPT4</em> was deemed safe in 73% of responses to the presented obstetric anesthesia clinical scenarios (27% of responses were deemed unsafe). None of the <em>ChatGPT4</em> responses were unanimously deemed to be safe by all seven expert obstetric anesthesiologists. Moreover, <em>ChatGPT4</em> responses were overall partly accurate (score 4 out of 5) and somewhat incomplete (score 3.5 out of 5). <strong>Conclusions:</strong> In summary, approximately one quarter of all responses by <em>ChatGPT4</em> were deemed unsafe by expert obstetric anesthesiologists. These findings may suggest the need for more fine-tuning and training of LLMs such as <em>ChatGPT4</em> specifically for clinical decision making in obstetric anesthesia or other specialized medical fields.
