From WRAL:
More people are turning to ChatGPT and other AI tools for health questions. The answers are fast, and they often sound reassuring and trustworthy, but Consumer Reports warns they aren’t always accurate.
If you’re concerned about your health, AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini promise detailed answers in seconds. One survey found 17% of adults ask AI chatbots health questions at least once a month. There are privacy concerns, too. AI systems are not bound by the same privacy laws as your doctor’s offices. That means whatever information you tell a chatbot could be used, sold, or even stolen in a data breach.
