A study published in the BMJ Quality & Safety journal warns patients not to rely solely on AI-powered search engines and chatbots for accurate and safe drug information. The researchers found that a considerable number of answers provided by these chatbots were wrong or potentially harmful. The complexity of the answers may also make it difficult for patients to understand without a high level of education. While chatbots have the potential to provide comprehensive responses, there is a risk of generating misinformation or content that could harm patients. Therefore, it is advised for patients to consult their healthcare professionals for accurate information.
