Healthcare AI – BEWARE THE ECHO CHAMBER

The debut of OpenAI’s ChatGPT Health has received both praise & concern. OpenAI reports that 1 in 4 ChatGPT queries already involve health information & many users upload their medical records despite the risks to their personal information. OpenAI claims that their new health tool is both HIPAA & GDPR compliant to address these worries.

In the short time since OpenAI’s announcement, experts have praised the benefits of an AI tool to help patients & families navigate the complex healthcare system. At the same time, these experts have cautioned about the high incidence (as much as 36%) of hallucinations and incorrect health recommendations that plague all major Gen AI solutions. The one thing that health AI experts, OpenAI & all AI developers agree on is that AI-informed patients & families should consult their healthcare providers before acting on any AI-generated health advice.

Recent scientific articles have reported that as many as 1 in 10 healthcare professionals use ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok despite policies prohibiting such use. These healthcare workers use these AI tools to help interpret patient data, explore diagnoses & plan treatment. This occurs despite warnings from AI safety experts that AI lacks the precision & accuracy interpret complex medical data for a single patient. AI advocates argue that the professional ultimately decides whether or not to trust the AI recommendations.

The hidden danger is when patients, families & healthcare professionals all depend on the same flawed AI tools. The claim that ChatGPT Health is HIPAA and GDPR compliant will not only encourage patients to upload their medical records and other health data, but it will also lull healthcare professionals and even healthcare systems into a false sense of security when uploading patient records. This creates an echo chamber where patients, families & providers all receive the same AI output. Patients & families will ask time-stressed professionals for advice based on these AI answers. If healthcare professionals are not cautious, confirmation bias will cause them to endorse flawed AI recommendations.

There is no doubt that tools like ChatGPT Health will improve health literacy & support informed care seeking. When health literacy & care seeking are enhanced, healthcare access & the health system capacity both increase. Thus, by helping patients navigate the healthcare system, these tool promotes health equity. It is also clear that these tools will be adopted by busy providers. Healthcare professionals, patients, families & AI developers must work together to prevent the inevitable echo chamber from leading to mistakes, harm & deaths.
