Relying on artificial intelligence for medical advice could be dangerous, a leading charity has warned, after finding that AI chatbots frequently provide inaccurate or outdated information regarding gynaecological cancers.
The Eve Appeal, as part of its 'Get Lippy' campaign, commissioned a YouGov survey of over 2,000 women across the UK, revealing a concerning trend. Nearly one in ten (9%) admitted to seeking health advice from AI platforms after experiencing gynaecological symptoms. While 28% were prompted to consult a doctor by the chatbot's responses, a worrying 24% felt falsely reassured that their symptoms were not cause for concern.
