Study Warns Patients Not To Rely On AI Chatbots

New Delhi: Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered search engines and chatbots may not always provide accurate and safe information on drugs, and patients shouldn’t rely on these, warned a study on Friday.

Researchers from Belgium and Germany conducted the study after finding many answers were wrong or potentially harmful.

In the paper, published in the journal BMJ Quality and Safety, they said that the complexity of the answers provided by the AI chatbot may be difficult to understand and might require degree-level education.
