Half of young Americans consult AI on health issues
Almost half of young Americans from 16 to 34 years regularly consult artificial intelligence on health issues. Sociologists found that bots are gaining popularity as an alternative to real doctors. Due to difficulties with appointments at clinics, insufficient serious attitude of medics to symptoms and erroneous diagnoses. More than a third of study participants complain about all this.
Almost every second respondent from 18 to 29 years discusses side effects of medications with bots. About a third prepare questions and calm themselves before visiting a doctor. Every fourth saves money on doctors with AI. And 20% use chatbots as a second opinion. At the same time, about 50% of respondents over 35 years completely trust AI as a source of medical information.
Well, and medics advise patients not to rely completely on diagnoses from technologies. Especially with suspicion of heart attack or stroke, when an ambulance must be called immediately. And believe that the technology is not yet at the level to make decisions without medical personnel participation.
An interesting situation emerges: people go to AI because real medicine lets them down. But doctors themselves warn – you cannot completely trust AI.
