Risk this mitigates
20Given that a general chatbot is already a weekly health advisor for hundreds of millions of people, there is a possibility of medical decisions being made on model output that is not a licensed device, not a record, and not under a clinician’s duty resulting in population-scale diagnostic and dosing errors, and delayed care for people who trusted the chat more than a clinic.
