OpenAI Introduces Health Feature in ChatGPT Amid Concerns Over Medical Advice Accuracy
OpenAI has launched a new feature in ChatGPT called Health, allowing users to upload medical records and connect health data from Apple Health. This development aims to assist users in tracking their health information over time. According to OpenAI, 300 million people already use ChatGPT weekly for health-related inquiries. The feature is designed to help users compare new test results with previous ones and explore how lifestyle factors like sleep and exercise impact their health. However, experts caution against relying solely on AI for medical advice. Tanzeem Choudhury, a health innovation expert at Cornell Tech, emphasizes the need for users to understand the risks of sharing personal data with AI. Concerns have been raised about the potential for AI to provide misleading or dangerous advice, as evidenced by recent incidents where ChatGPT's advice allegedly led to severe health consequences.
