A study has found that AI chatbots incorrectly diagnose patients in more than 80% of early medical cases, raising significant concerns about the reliability of AI tools in clinical settings. The research highlights substantial limitations in current large language models when applied to real-world diagnostic tasks, particularly in early-stage presentations where symptoms may be ambiguous or incomplete. The findings add to growing scrutiny of AI healthcare applications and underscore the risks of over-reliance on chatbots as diagnostic aids without proper medical oversight.
