People struggle to get useful health advice from chatbots, study finds

Many people with long standby lists and rising costs in unloaded health systems are returning with charging conversations of many people as ChatGpt for medical diagnosis. In one of the six American adults already uses chatbots for a monthly health recommendations, According to a recent survey.

But to give many confidence to chatBots outputs, partially risky, because people fight to know what information for the best health tricks, According to a recent Oxford-LED study.

“The study revealed the division of two-sided communications,” said Adam Mehdi, the Director of Graduate Research at the Oxford Institute and co-author of the organization of the organization. “Those who use [chatbots] He did not make better decisions than participants who rely on traditional methods as online searches or their decision. “

For the research, the authors hired about 1,300 people in the UK and gave medical scenarios written by a group of doctors. Participants were instructed to identify the potential health condition and use their methods, as well as the methods of conversations, as well as their methods (eg when going to a doctor or hospital).

Participants had once employed the standard AI model amplifier Chatgpt, GPT-4O, as well as the COONE command R + and Meta 3 AI Assistant. According to the authors, the conversation is unlikely that the participants are unlikely to determine the relevant health condition, but also made the odds of the conditions of the conditions they identified.

Hazrat Mahdi said that the participants often released the key details when they receive the answers to the conversation tablecloths or interpreting.

“[T]Answers they receive [from the chatbots] Often combines good and weak recommendations, “he said. Current assessment methods [chatbots] Do not reflect the complexity of interaction with human users. “

The findings come as long as it increases the AI ​​as a way to improve health results. Apple It was reported to have something Develop a AI instrument that can distribute tips related to exercise, diet and sleep. Amazon is investigating AI based way to analyze medical databases for “health social identifiers”. And Microsoft helps patients traulate the AI ​​for the products given to the care of the care.

But as it is techcrunch previously reportedBoth specialists and patients are related to whether the AI ​​is ready for higher risk health applications. The American Medical Association recommends that with the help of challenging decisions, including clinical decisions and basic AI companies, including basic AI companies and cracks to diagnose.

“We would recommend reliable information sources for health decisions,” he said. “Current assessment methods [chatbots] Do not reflect the complexity of interaction with human users. As clinical trials for new drugs, [chatbot] Prior to the placement of systems, it should be tested in the real world. “
