Artificial intelligence (AI), once a subject of science fiction, is now a tangible, disruptive force in teaching and learning. In an educational setting, generative large language models (LLM), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, perform and supplement tasks that usually require human thought, such as data analysis, understanding complex ideas, problem-solving, coding and producing written outputs. AI advances are moving quickly. From the emergence of ChatGPT 3.5 in November 2022, we have witnessed the arrival of other progressive language models, like OpenAI’s GPT-4, Google’s Bard AI and Microsoft’s Bing AI. Most recently, AIs gained the ability to access real-time information, analyse images and are becoming directly embedded in many applications.

The challenge of disaster management in healthcare facilities is dealing with the incident’s consequences and maintaining regular operations. Diagnostic and clinical microbiology laboratories have a critical role in the early diagnosis of causative agents of infectious diseases that could spread rapidly in the community and lead to outbreaks. Blood banks are also crucial to maintain the blood supply chain and to cope with the raised demand for blood components because of disaster-related injuries. It is thus necessary to prepare emergency plans, including step-by-step action plans for various disaster scenarios. Even though inconvenient conditions exist during disasters, biosafety and biosecurity precautions still apply, as well as quality control requirements in diagnostic and clinical laboratories and blood banks.
