Should you trust AI with your health questions?
More people are turning to AI tools like ChatGPT to look up symptoms and health information. OpenAI reports that over 40 million people use ChatGPT every day, and many of those conversations involve health topics.
However, research published in Nature Medicine found that when people used AI chatbots to help interpret medical scenarios, they correctly identified the condition only about one-third of the time.
AI can be helpful for general information, but your health is too important to rely on guesses. If you have concerns about your health, itโs always best to talk with a qualified healthcare provider.
