The AI Health Answer You Want Could Be Wrong

Can you trust ChatGPT with medical advice? Dr. Michael Turken and I explain how to check AI health answers, verify their sources, spot missing context, and decide what to do when AI and your doctor disagree.

Dr. Michael Turken, MD, MPH, is a practicing internist at UCSF and the founder and CEO of My Doctor Friend, an AI health assistant for patients and caregivers navigating complex care. He previously worked in health technology at Google, Forward Health, and Omada Health. Michael and I trained together in internal medicine at Stanford and have been friends ever since.
