Wellness Wednesday: Dr Jess Morris (Don’t Leave Your Health In The Hands Of AI Prompts)

At the heart of the issue is a fundamental limitation of artificial intelligence (AI) when applied to healthcare – something AI tools and providers themselves acknowledge. Dr Jess Morris, General Practitioner (GP) at Mediclinic Morningside, chats to Leigh-Anne Williams about how many people are increasingly turning to AI to help interpret symptoms or test results before consulting a doctor, which causes unnecessary stress, and can create false reassurance, delaying professional care when early intervention could make a critical difference.
