Concerns Grow Over AI Chatbots Providing Medical Advice
Recent studies have raised significant concerns regarding the reliability of AI chatbots as medical assistants. A series of investigations reveal that these AI-driven tools frequently dispense inaccurate health advice, often no better than traditional internet searches. Experts warn that medical misinformation is especially likely to mislead AI when it appears to come from credible sources. Physicians emphasize that while many patients turn to AI for medical information, these systems are not a substitute for professional medical advice. As AI continues to integrate into healthcare, both the public and medical professionals express questions about its efficacy and safety.
