AI is not intended for medical diagnosis or treatment.
Artificial intelligence is changing the way we search for health information.
Whether it's checking the cause of a lingering headache, understanding blood test results or asking if a symptom is serious, more people are turning to AI chatbots such as ChatGPT before making an appointment with a doctor.
While these tools can explain medical terms and provide useful general information in seconds, they are not designed to diagnose illness or replace professional medical advice.
In fact, technology companies behind the platforms openly warn that their responses can be inaccurate or incomplete, particularly when it comes to personal health.
