AI Chatbots Give Misleading Medical Advice

As more Americans turn to artificial intelligence for health information, a major study has revealed significant flaws in the technology's accuracy.

The research analyzed responses to 50 medical questions and found that 50% of the information provided was 'problematic' or incomplete.

While chatbots can help users evaluate the level of care they need, experts caution that they frequently 'hallucinate' and fail to provide accurate reference lists.

Despite these risks, a recent Gallup poll found that one in four U.S. adults had used AI for health advice in the past month.
